Re: Rover, skipper, hotspur annuals

Have you checked the Annuals section on this very website :D

https://www.comicsuk.co.uk/annuals.php

It was compiled years ago, but may be of some use to you.

Re: Tiger comic

An excellent article-find Richard. Thank you.

Just when we thought we knew 'everything' about the Tiger comic, this comes along.

I attempted to upgrade the forum a couple of weeks ago, and it didn't go to plan. So I reinstalled the previous version.

I logged on as my tester self, made a post, replied to it and it all seemed hunky dorey, and I was off, in the knowledge that the Forum was working, albeit the previous version ...

Re: GCD indexing anomaly

Hopefully, 16-page comics are not self-identifying ...

Some of you may be aware of Brian's passing, but I only found out about it via an email from his daughter Jo a few days ago. Brian sadly passed away back in May of this year, aged 94.
