Gary Glitter Annual 1976

Everyone who was everyone had an annual released about them in the 1970s, including disgraced former pop star sex offender Gary Glitter. This book is a glimpse from back when it wasn't weird at all to leave a middle aged man alone with children.

The annual is darkly unintentionally humorous in many ways, and contains a huge amount of cheese. The annual includes the usual features of such a book: profile information, child pics (of him i should add!), his influences et cetera. There are also photo features of Gary in the kitchen, Gary's driving lessons and Gary on stage. It is all the Gary Glitter you could ever want (which is quite likely not a huge amount these days).

The funniest thing in the annual is a comic strip detailing how Glitter nearly gave it all after a low point early in his career (oh if only he knew!) The comic version of Glitter looks nothing like him of course and is curiously low energy. It was probably drawn by someone who had met him.

So, a very odd collection of nonsense indeed about a very awful man.
