Footrot
Flats by Murray Ball was probably the most popular comic strip ever in
Australia and New Zealand. The main series was issued as longer landscape
books and so popular was the series that several reprints have been issued.
Most copies have sold over 4 million. Sadly, the main series ended at
Book 27. There was also a smaller "Pocket Book" series, a larger
"Weekender" series and some odd specials, including some hardback
compendiums of the original books. A full length cartoon movie was made
and a book issued of the film. In addition, the original series was issued
again as a miniature version of the landscape books, abridged (ie with
less strips) entitled the 'Footrot Flats Puppydog Series'. These appear
to have stopped at the reproduction of selected strips from Book 21 and
had identical covers to the main books (therefore not included in this
gallery).
The first six original Footrot Flats Books were also re-released in the
UK by Titan Books.
Update : In 2005 a new collection of strips was published by Hodder Moa Books titled "Footrot Flats Sports Collection". Below is a Gallery of the Footrot Flats Books in number order. |
