TARGET The Great New Weekly For Boys (1972)

[Brett Sinclair]

Does anyone else remember this mag? I was 10 in 1972 and remember getting a few issues at least, largely because I had an insatiable curiosity for horror films and Christopher Lee had a column!
I remember two issues in particular; one had a poster from Dr. Phibes Rises Again and the other was an in depth look at Dracula AD 72.

I also remember the comic strip Bovver Boy and an article about a group of lads that put together their own modern warfare battles (well modern for 1972) with uniforms, weapons and pyrotechnics (very cool when I was 10 ) a forerunner of paintball or airsoft possibly.

If anyone can remember more it would be great to hear.

Cheers

Brett

I have a few issues of Target but I certainly was too young when it came out. I picked up an issue several years ago and I thought it was a great magazine, but I too were very Interested seeing a regular column by none other than Christopher lee as well as other features on horror films. Would love to get more of these,does anyone know how many issues there were. One of my issues is #50 something, also be great if there were a website with all the issue covers on.
