Cartoons.

Like most countries, the majority of English newspapers feature daily cartoons, usually based on the previous days news or celebrity, and over the years whenever Joan had been in the press, it was guaranteed that she would not escape the cartoonist.


The one above, penned by Franklyn appeared in 'The Sun' newspaper, and ties in with today's magazine and her divorce from Peter Holm.

I hope to feature more of these very soon under the newspaper section of my website.

On the Newstands ....

The majority of the magazines featured on my website are Joan as the main celebrity, however there are some where she shares the cover, like today's magazine National Enquirer from 3rd March 1987.

Joan has appeared on the cover of this tabloid loads of times, and I will be featuring more in future posts. According to the one page article inside, this cover shows her entering the Los Angeles courtroom at the time of her divorce from husband #4, Peter Holm.

The article was entitled, "Peter Holm: I Love Joan Collins & Want Her Back!".

Fans of Bruce Willis will probably have this cover in their collection as he features top right.

EXTRA!! EXTRA!! ... On the Newstands

As an extra, I am featuring the front page of today's UK Daily Express. The idea of these posts is to exhibit publications from the 1950's to the present day featuring Joan on the cover. I had already gone back in my archives for today's magazine, and was really surprised to find Joan's picture staring at me from the newstands today.

From the pictures I'd seen on the Internet it looked a great dress, a colour which suits Joan, but by her own admission so tight that it caused her to suffer a "Victorian Swoon" and ended up her being rushed to hospital.

You can read this article on my website, by going to the Newspapers section from the main menu.

Don't forget to visit the blog tomorrow to see which magazine is featured from the archives.

On the Newstands ....

Today, I am featuring the magazine 'New Idea' from New Zealand, which was on sale on Saturday 2nd March 2002.

As you can see this was one of the many magazines that featured Joan's 5th marriage to Percy Gibson at London's Claridge's Hotel. Inside the article "Joan's purple passion" was an exclusive 6 page article with great photo's which originally featured in England's OK Magazine, and as fan's know, Joan recently celebrated her 9th anniversary.

On the Newstands ....

As readers of my blog know JContheCover, the name of my first website was created to feature magazines Joan has appeared on from the 1950's to the present day.

By way of a change, I thought it would be an idea to see if I could feature the magazines of Joan that would have been on sale on newstands on a particular date.

For the 1st March,I found 19 magazines, ranging from 1957 to 1994.

I have chosen this issue of ABC Film Review from 1st March 1960, with Joan on the cover from the film Seven Thieves. This magazine was first published in 1951 by Associated British Cinemas Ltd and sold at ABC cinemas only. It became a monthly magazine in 1951 and in 1972 changed it's name to Film Review.

51 years ago this magazine would have cost you 6D(pence). Check back tomorrow for more daily Newstand Magazines.

Dynasty - Mud

They threw items at each other in the studio catfight, fought in the lilypond, and as this photo shows, in Season 6 Alexis and Krystle fight over Blake this time in the mud.

JContheCover: VideoArab (1987)

Back to 1987 for today's magazine from the archives. A fantastic cover shot of fur clad Joan from Dynasty. Fans will remember the episode when Alexis attempts to move Jeff Colby to a private clinic to cover up for Adam who had poisoned him with the toxic fumes from his newly painted office.

The magazine is written completely in Arabic, the only English I can make out is the date, March 1987. Inside is a 4 page article with 8 colour pictures.
