Colin was the master of find...

Re: Some interesting observations about collecting
I think you’ve pretty much nailed it on the head! The one I’d add would be that 2000AD comics after the first 300 are on offer everywhere too.

Another set completed on the weekend, this time it is Weird Planets by Alan Class, as I found my missing #22 in a bundle on Ebay. My largest complete Alan Class set so far. I've got some way to go to complete any of the big 6 though!

Re: Graphic Novels
If I can suggest The Scorpion by Desberg and Marini? I think anyone would find them cracking entertainment. So, almost 10 years after this post, I accidentally came across Volumes 1 & 2 of The Scorpion and must agree, they are cracking entertainment! So much so, I immediately went online and bought...

Re: Complete Collections
Yes it’s the series that Joe 90 merged into. I must admit that I got confused while collecting them as so many sellers didn’t realise there was a difference between TV Century 21 and TV21! All done now though, so on to the next set!

Peter Hansen says: I have the ledgers of work by women and men from the 30’s to the mid sixties! Only problem is that I am in Canada and my ledgers are in the UK!! I’ve asked him when he’s due back next and what comics the ledgers cover. Knowing Peter, it will be them all!
