Re: Talking Pictures TV

Looking forward to a bit of Stingray. From memory it starts off a little infantile in places but soon sheds that ahead of the leap to Thunderbirds.

Re: Mighty Moth and Barney Bear

TV Comic was always a penny more than its competitors but always very entertaining. I never understood the inclusion of Mighty Moth but what a great 5 minute cartoon it would have made. Again I never understood the inclusion of TWO Roobarb strips. In the end I lost interest with the format change (n...

Re: Original Beano Plug Comic Art (Kev F Sutherland)

Was it published like that with “Holy Bum” ? I get the context for what happens next but seems a bit un-Beano like.

Re: Marvel UK

The Moomins are so full of lore and magic that only having two issues and a special seems a very poor return by anyone’s effort. I have happy memories of the late Keith Barron reading Comet in Moominland daily over 5 episodes of the BBC series Jackanory. This portent of doom was compelling as the te...

Re: What comics did you buy today?

I’m awaiting a large pile of very early Tammy comics from 1971 & 1972, created under the heavy influence of Pat Mills, with tales of working class girls living lives of terror and disappointment against foes such as Ma Thatcher. Very Mills!

Re: Viz issue #1

Nice to see it signed off by Chris Donald. It doesn’t have a number on the back and look pristine but that’s because it’s from a small batch of 1st prints that were kept in an envelope. The story I got from Anderson & Garland when I got mine was that the guy who did that back in 1979 then went on a ...

Re: What comics did you buy today?

I’m a Marvel UK diehard fan but even I’d never heard of their 1982 comic Not the World Cup which includes an early Alan Moore story. Now purchased and on its way.

Re: What comics did you buy today?

The final ever Whizzer and Chips (sob!). The passing of a comic giant - and the last appearance of Shiner (double sob !) At least he managed to get through it unscathed.
