@NuitsdeY @SongsBone The problem of Mr Chung, Moe the Inuit girl, Me Your Slave and all the rest remains the true horror of Bunty for me, though I did like itÛªs witch stories.

@Fireflyght @NeolithicSheep Colin is a pisspuffin and the theme of rejuvenation in the book should never have extended that far. FHB should have done better.

@NuitsdeY @SongsBone I think the earliest Bunty I ever read in a waiting room was from 1968 in about 1976.

@SongsBone @NuitsdeY The 70s and 80s were a time of casual classism and racism in most childrenÛªs entertainment, but Bunty was egregious even with the context of the dominant media culture.

@ShoppeKeeperCat Well, some iterations of the wild hunt could be and have been called soul ravers. In Hookland, it is said to be a class of frenzied, violently feral spirit that can be set to hunt the living.

@NuitsdeY @SongsBone Historic settings were much more utilised in comics and television in the 1960s and 1970s – boys comics of the period when not featuring war tackled everything from Spring-heeled Jack to the ChildrenÛªs Crusade to the unification of Italy.
