This is the unique original Pen & Ink Wash by Bill Titcombe.

Flintlock were a teen band that really only enjoyed one big chart success. However their promotional people worked hard and they made a lot of children's TV appearances. That's why the ended up with a short run strip in Look-In drawn in Bill Titcombe looser style, similar to his work on the Benny Hill strip.

The feature in Look-In ran from October 1976 (replacing the Slick feature) to February 1977. The page is noted as being 1-12, so that makes it the first page of the episode from the first issue of 1977. The Flintlock single Dawn reached #30 in May 1976.
  • Artist Biography
    Bill Titcombe
    A very prolific and talented comic strip artist with many styles, Bill Titcombe has been illustrating children's comics since the late 1950s. Bill's work captured the essence of many of our favourite TV and film characters into comic strips that today still delight the eye with their clean lines and bright colours.

    One of Bill's longest contracts was with the TV Comic weekly, where he often had as many as four different strips on the go at once.

    The Telegoons, one of Bill's earlier comic strips, far exceeded the norm for a TV series tie-in, in that it outlived the television original by more than two years; witness Eccles, the original goon, as drawn by Bill Titcombe.

    Over the years, Bill Titcombe has worked on more than 60 different comic strips, including Inspector Gadget, Scooby Doo and Woody Woodpecker.
