Phoenix could help but he has been absent from these pages for well over a year. Is anyone in contact with him?

As well as the 1966 Batman series.

Captain Scarlet comes to Talking Pictures on Saturday 1st June.

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...

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.

I have a copy. Bought it for the Ron Embleton cover.

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 ...

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...

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.

There's a Manzes in Sutton.

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.

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...

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.

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...

I got books 9-13 in Dewey Lambdin's Alan Lewrie naval history series of novels. Just twelve more to go as Lambdin died recently so no more novels. 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...
