Welcome to Carrie's Den
It must be nearly 30 years since I bought my first copy of Mayfair … I still remember vividly the cover, which featured a naked Gillian Duxbury kneeling up on a sun-bed facing the camera - bare bum raised high in the air. Every guy who bought that issue thought the same thing - why the hell didn't the photographer go round the back?

The issue featured the usual half dozen pretty young things shedding their clothes and treating readers to an eyeful of their charms. However, it wasn't any of them, nor even the lovely Ms Duxbury, who stole my heart. Towards the back of the magazine was a two-page comic strip entitled "Carrie" which featured a young lass being molested in a public library.

When she shouted for help she was glared at by the library staff who pointed angrily to a large notice reading "Silence". The lass gave us a "what's a girl to do?" look and shrugged. I fell madly in love with her on the spot.

In those days the Carrie strip was drawn by Don Lawrence. I discovered later that it was published in several countries - in France she was called "Sophie", in Germany she was "Virginia" and in Holland "Cathy". Each story was a true work of art, lovingly drawn with tremendous attention to detail.

A few months after I discovered the Carrie strip in Mayfair the artist changed, and Mario Capaldi took up pen and brush.

His Carrie was what my mother would have described as "bonny" (a bit more to get hold of than Lawrence's version), although he clearly tried to remain true to the original.

I recall Capaldi's debut featured a mad scientist and his robot maidservant who (much to Carrie's delight) is programmed to bathe and towel her off. When the robot delivers a freshly scrubbed Carrie to the professor in his bed we realise the old guy was not quite so mad as we first thought.

A year or so later the artist changed again, to Steve Kingston. Kingston's style was more cartoon-like than either of his predecessors and his Carrie was more the traditional blonde bimbo (though interestingly she was no longer a natural blonde.)

There were also a handful of issues in 1981 featuring Connie (Carrie's cousin) drawn by Brian Forbes. Happily similar misfortunes plagued Connie (it must have been a family thing) and she invariably ended up naked with her legs apart.

This web site is respectively dedicated to the work of those talented artists, each of whom brought his own distinctive style to the strip and gave us plenty of fantasies, a few laughs, and the odd bulge in the front of our trousers.

The site is still under construction. All contributions gratefully received. We are currently looking for more of the excellent "Adam's Eve" series by Angus McBride. We will also be adding further stuff from the likes of Aslan, Cobb and Forbes who all provided Mayfair with some great erotic artwork over the years.

"Free web hosts, such as the one we are using, are notoriously unreliable and web sites often disappear overnight - frustrating for us and for you. For this reason we have adopted the domain name www.carriestrip.org.uk

Please bookmark the site in your "Favorites List" with this domain, rather than the current host, by clicking HERE . That way the bookmark will still direct you to Carrie's site, even if the host changes for any reason in future."
