I still think the format within each of the two comics was sufficiently unique and the Cheeky strips relied on all the iconic horrors of film and fairytale fiction whereas Baxendales strips were more wide ranging and I think it was only the covers of each cut-out booklet that contained colour.<br><br>Those final panels with Cheeky getting freaked out or stalked by some ghoul(s) from his book always seemed to take on a life of their own!John M.
