It's summary time once again, and today, I have an expanded look at the monster of a master, Creature Teacher.
Comic Title: Creature Teacher
Comic: Monster Fun
Original Artist: Thomas Williams
First Appearance: No. 1 (14/6/1975)
Final Weekly Appearance: No. 73 (30/10/1976)
Also appeared in the Monster Fun Specials (including the Buster and Monster Fun holiday specials from 1977 until 1995) and the Monster Fun Annuals from 1976 (for 1977) until 1984 (for 1985.)
Throughout British comics history, there have been comics involving the classroom, and a class that was so uncontrollable, that the schools' staff had to take desperate measures. In 1965, Peter Davidson brought us the mechanical master Tin Teacher. Then in the early 1970's, Ron Spencer introduced us to the medieval monsters, and their armor plated master, Whacko! in the Dandy
In June 1975, Monster Fun had introduced us to the little horros of class 3X of Massacre Street School.
Here is how it all started (from Monster Fun No. 1, dated 14/6/1975)
Unfortunately for 3X, this teacher is not going to be so easy to get rid of (especially when he can shape shift into anything that will put them in their place. Our next strip came from a later issue (I think No. 51, as I don't have the date on the file.)
Next, we have a Christmas story (four months late, I know ;) ) from the only Christmas issue of Monster Fun, No. 29, dated 27/12/1975)
and finally (for now) I have one more strip from the 3/7/1976. This one was an all star episode, with appearances from other strips during their excursion through Monsterville.
There will be a Summer of Fun special post closer to the northern summer (I usually do the summer of fun series during November to February (Australia's summer) featuring CT and the 3X monsters.
There will be more soon. A more detailed summary of Creature Teacher can be found in Irmantas' Kazoop! blog here.
