''Look and Learn'' was a British weekly educational magazine for children published by Fleetway Publications Ltd from 1962 until 1982. It contained educational text articles that covered a wide variety of topics from volcanoes to the Loch Ness Monster; a long running science fiction comic strip, ''The Trigan Empire''; adaptations of famous works of literature into comic-strip form, such as ''Lorna Doone''; and serialized works of fiction such as ''The First Men in the Moon''. The illustrators who worked on the magazine included Fortunino Matania, John Millar Watt, Peter Jackson, John Worsley, Patrick Nicolle, Ron Embleton, Gerry Embleton, C. L. Doughty, Wilf Hardy, Dan Escott, Angus McBride, Oliver Frey, James E. McConnell, Kenneth Lilly, Graham Coton, Ralph Bruce, R. B. Davis, Severino Baraldi and Clive Uptton. Among other things, it featured the Pen-Friends pages, a popular section where readers could make new friends overseas. ==Pre-publication history== ''Look and Learn'' was the brainchild of Leonard Matthews, the editorial director of juvenile publications at Fleetway Publications which was already publishing the long-running Children's Newspaper. An early attempt by Matthews to launch a new educational title along the lines of Italian educational magazines ''Conoscere'' and ''La Vita Meravigliosa'' had been turned down by the Board of Directors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.lookandlearn.com/history/index.php )〕 A British edition of ''Conoscere'' was brought out in 1961 under the title ''Knowledge'' and Matthews reassessed his original proposal and approached the Board again, this time receiving the go-ahead to produce a dummy of the proposed magazine. The dummy was put together by the firm's Experimental Art Department headed by David Roberts and Trevor Newton. David Stone, a former sub-editor with Everybody's Weekly was appointed editor and, with the dummy approved, the magazine began publication. However, before the new title reached the newsstands, John Sanders replaced Stone as editor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Look and Learn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
