this isn't a comic, but was a strip

 

in '68 or so I was in GB.  their paperbacks were very inexpensive at the time re US books.

 

I discovered a boxed, two volume paperback "boxed'set of strip sized 'panels' on cooking by

 

Len Deighton, that were published daily like comic strips  in the same format on cooking.

 

he was a fiction author  with books like funeral in berlin, ipcress file etc.  Harry Palmer, his character was a bit of a chef.

 

here they are :

and

 

http://www.amazon.com/Len-Deightons-French-Cooking-Men/dp/0007351119/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2/190-0974011-2511360?ie=UTF8&refRID=0G19RRYG8YG9N3WAWKFG

 

all sorts of basic stuff that made a lot of sense to me  : types of sauces, and how they related to each other etc.

 

I wonder if anyone else knows about these.   I leaned more from those two books  which were the collected strips

 

have no idea where they are now  but would love to look them over again.
