OK so I'm a Dan Dare (in all his incarnations) and Eagle fan so I buy this magazine [fanzine doesn't come close to describing this, the most professionally produced (by a fan) title about British comics I have ever seen] , even so I wholeheartedly recommend you check it out, just see what it looks l...

any more (Doomlord) volumes coming out David? I've got the Deathlords of Nox volume and would be happy to support similar reprint projects. I've seen it in lots of outlets so you're obviously doing something right! The content is great, the product looks porfessional and the price, as the used to sa...

Can't believe Al hasn't got ANY Hotspur specials on display in the specials section, he normally has such a comprehensive selection. The website is looking good Cap (and has come on loads recently it seems) but the site address is http://starhawkcrunch.tripod.com/ I think you've got one too many for...

For a while (in 1987) there actually was a 'Best of Fleetway adventures strips' tile, it was called All Action Monthly, it only lasted 8 issues and reprinted such stories as Topps on two wheels, Hellman, Dredger, Tallon of the Track and more besides. An eclectic selection but not a popular one. If y...

I?m a collector of Fleetway titles that started after I was born (except 2000AD) so, with the exception of the new Eagle I tend to be a collector of short runs of comics (Ring Raiders, Super Naturals, Scream). Still satisfying to collect them and yeah I tend to wait until I?ve got the set before rea...

Wildcat ran for 12 issues (plus a preview issue) fortnightly in the Winter of 1988/89. Issue #1 was 22nd Oct-4th Nov. Despite only asting 12 issues it still managed to find time to have a holiday special as well. It then merged with the new Eagle. Artists used included Ian Kennedy, Jos? Ortiz, Ron S...

I have a run of ACE newsletters from 1978-1991 (issue 5 to issue 120) that I acquired some years back. As Lew says there is plenty of stuff about pre-WW2 comics (not really my scene, so I haven't reviewed that stuff in much detail) as well as newspaper clippings of what was happening in comics that ...

EAGLE FLIES AGAIN editor Ian Wheeler and I have discussed the non appearance of the very last issue of the British comics fanzine, which has been delayed because of my current work commitments. I can only apologize for the long wait, which I am sure is a disappointment to our many readers. The Dan D...

There's a picture of the Buster '94 annual in the annuals section of this site, but no pictures of Hotspur annuals post-1992
