Something a bit more recent...Puffin Post Number 7 - Autumn 1985!

This is one of the better covers that came with the re-branding in the 80's - a great cover by Quentin Blake. I'm afraid this cover got some water damage, hence the creases (Too much to restore this time round without messing up the ink-wash artwork).

The inside of these felt a bit disjointed, maybe due to a loss of a house stylist to guide the way. Jill McDonald's graphics still appear throughout the magazine - old echoes of earlier times.

The other big change - and a big mistake in my opinion - was the change in size from A5 to an awkward A4! Why??
