Re: Trying to remember British comic series from 1959-1961 with story about giant spine throwing cacti
Phoenix could help but he has been absent from these pages for well over a year. Is anyone in contact with him?

Re: Trying to remember British comic series from 1959-1961 with story about giant spine throwing cacti
You mention Hotspur and Wizard but then say Eagle is closest to the look. I can only think of Boys' World which looked like The Eagle and published fantasy stories. The first issue was published in January 1963. And a December 1963 cover mentions a Tree of Terror story inside. (information from cove...

Dennis the Menace in the Topper
Going through some old Toppers I noticed Dennis appeared in a Beryl the Peril story. Issue 33 dated 19 September 1953. Drawn by David Law of course.

Re: What comics did you buy today?
Daredevil was a silver age Marvel comic. I also had the Tales of Suspense with Iron Man's first appearance back in the sixties but I was into DC comics at the time and didn't hang onto it. Found a bundle of Busters today from 1974/75. About 25 issues. I'll put them on ebay as a bundle apart from an ...

Re: What comics did you buy today?
I have the first issue of Buster but have not put it on ebay as I always fear the buyer may claim they didn't receive it and eBay believes them and I have to refund them thus losing the comic and the payment. Most collectors are honest but with a high price comic I don't want to take the chance. Unt...

Re: Some interesting observations about collecting
Yes, a few years ago I got three black bin bags full of comics delivered by hand from an eBay seller. Must have been over 300 comics for about £100. 60s to 80s UK comics including Cor!! #1 which I had been after as my brother's mates took away some of my comics in the early 70s including Cor!! #1.

Re: Not just any old East London pie and mash shop
My local Manzes closes next year. I'll have to go to Goddards in nearby Greenwich for my fix. A privilege for the Southwark Borough newspaper to have a Lewisham Borough story on the cover.

Re: Talking Pictures TV
Trailers on Talking Pictures yesterday show that The Beverly Hillbillies and Bonanza are coming to the channel at the beginning of March, as is Stingray. I grew up in the sixties and watched them all first time round. Beverly Hillbillies very funny. Back then there was a western series on practicall...

Re: What Christmas Comics Have You Bought Recently?
Bob also drew comic strips, for smaller publishers I think, I have a comic with one of his strips on the cover which he signed as Ramon.

Re: Complete Collections
It was Valiant & TV21 and had Star Trek in full colour in the centre pages. I'm not sure but I think that's the only time Valiant had colour pages inside. With the original TV Century 21 I bought each copy as it was published and remember towards the end they started putting football photos on the c...

But I still have the Thomas Kydd, John Pearce and Carlisle and Holbrooke series' which are all ongoing. Started reading naval history novels in the mid 1...
