Jingo Jones and his Invisibiliser
One of the delights of boys’
comics and story papers was the imagination of some writers. By the 1950s it
wasn’t good enough simply to invent five boys and put them in a boarding school
and have them get up to everyday adventures.
What was needed were new-fangled
inventions and trips into space or visits by extra-terrestrials.
Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I
think Jingo Jones and his Invisibiliser has long been forgotten but he was a
feature of the Lion.
Jingo had an uncle who was a professor who invented things. To cut to the
chase, Jingo got hold of his ‘hyperphontonic invisibiliser’ that allowed him to
make things unseeable.
Oh, what adventures he got up
to at school.
In this episode from 1952 Jinty
uses a bowler hat to protect himself from a headmaster’s caning. Read on to
find out how.
