The story of Doncaster

I've looked before at newspaper comic strips (click here for all previous mention on the blog) and I'm always on the look out for strips that are new to me.

'The story of Doncaster' [published  by Doncaster Gazette] certainly falls into that category! A recent spot on ebay [from this seller] the listing described the item thus... 

Here we have the softback booklet ' Doncaster Gazette - The Story of Doncaster ' which is a blank booklet in which to stick the strip stories found in the Doncaster Gazette at the time telling the story of the town.

The strips are enclosed within the book but are not stuck in.

Published by the Doncaster Gazette in 1978
