This week's Beano (which is No. 3897) at my local newsagent.
Re: What comics did you buy today?
You outbid me on that one. I must admit I didn't expect it to go for that much. I wanted it as a present for my eldest granddaughter, Lois, who has had a cuddly toy she calls Lambchop in bed to help her get to sleep since she was knee high to a grasshopper. I suppose I'll have to put a search out for one now in order not to miss any advertised issues in future.Adam Eterno wrote:Shari Lewis' Lambchop Weekly #1

I loved Shari Lewis and Lambchop when I was growing up and watching them on Youtube never fails to bring a smile to my face.Adam Eterno wrote:Shari Lewis' Lambchop Weekly #1 - Shelbourne - 1972

Re: What comics did you buy today?
Castle of Horror #1 by Portman Distribution from 1978. That's the final first issue I needed to have all 8 that they bought out in 1978 and 1979:
Castle of Horror, Chilling Tales of Horror, Demon, Ghoul Tales, Journey into Nightmare, Shock, Stark Terror and Tales of Terror.
That's another search I can take off my Ebay account and just in time for Halloween!

Thanks for that information, Adam. I've only just seen your comment as I've been busy most of the day. I'll ring them tomorrow morning bang on 10.30 when they open.Adam Eterno wrote:30th Century have one for sale at only a fiver or so

I remember them (and liked them too). Strange how they all started around the same and then ended around the same time.Adam Eterno wrote:Castle of Horror #1 by Portman Distribution from 1978. That's the final first issue I needed to have all 8 that they bought out in 1978 and 1979:

Re: What comics did you buy today?
There was only a finite amount of material available to use, as the Marvel comics they reprinted from didn't last too long either. However, I think there was some politics going on too, as they were in competition with Marvel UK. Seemed strange that they had the licence to reprint Marvel stuff, when Marvel UK were still going strong.SID wrote:I remember them (and liked them too).

Re: What comics did you buy today?
33 issues in total between the 8 titles always seemed strange to me too. I agree Lew that there must have been some politics going on. Shame as I really enjoy them.Lew Stringer wrote:[

Re: What comics did you buy today?
Visited Kingdom Comics today and went through three boxes to find another 4 issues of Commando. And to round off my purchases, I picked up an issue of World at War from Charlton Comics Group.

Unfortunately it's not open Sunday and I'm away before Monday. However it was Sue Ryder so you could write to them at that price.Adam Eterno wrote:I still need 13 in the 4000s but Nairn is a bit far for me sadly!starscape wrote:Currently in Nairn where a charity shop has loads of 4000ish Commandos at 25p each.
