Re: Smiths Horror Bags

I used to love these horror bags as a kid.Always brought a packet on the way to primary school.Bones was my all time favourite one.

Any idea when they stopped producing them?

Re: Smiths Horror Bags

Think Fleetway used to pump out the Annuals regardless of if title was defunct.
Last issue of S & S was 1974! annuals ran until 1986!

Well I've found comics(on ebay) which suggest they merged in the 70's, however there is a S&S Annual on ebay dated 1981

I suppose theres a chance the same artist who designed the HB packets also designed those stickers?

Re: Smiths Horror Bags

When did S & S finish? Again, online mentions of comic freebies fail to mention these.
Pretty sure HB's were sold into the early 80's

Re: Smiths Horror Bags

I was thinking maybe Shiver and Shake which merged with WHOOPEE!

Re: Smiths Horror Bags

Nope. Just checked the online Buster pages, and these stickers are not mentioned.. Monster fun??

Re: Smiths Horror Bags

As nearly all Jackpot covers are online, I don't think it was Jackpot freebie.. More likely Buster

Re: Smiths Horror Bags

I have no idea at all. Not even sure that they are even Crisp related. I'd have said they were late 70's
