Re: What comics did you buy today?

Thanks Into The Abyss & jim244, I reckon I have more Busters now than when I originally collected them back in 2000 - 2012 (I regretfully sold the lot in 2012). Back then I could store the lot in the bottom of a bookcase, now that has filled up and I'm using some wardrobe space upstairs as well - I...

Cheers! - actually my first lot of Beezer broadsheets (already had a few Topper and Buzz) - what a great read they are. :)
Look in good order too. I loved those broadsheet Toppers & Beezers as a kid. Bought loads at my local school summer fate. 8)

Re: Sandy James

These pages of artwork by Sandy James have been (probably still are) up for sale on ebay - I'm a big fan of Sandy's work and it's a shame that more of it has been reprinted in recent year. https://boysadventurecomics.blogspot.com/2024/05/sandy-james-artwork-for-tiger.html Very nice. Superb artist. :)

Re: Playhour comic - can you help?

Richard S, done a bit of detective work for you. I think you might have confused wrong comic. What I found was the Children of the New Forrest strip appeared in the Princess comic circa 1962 by Fleetwood Press and not Playhour. I could be wrong unless those characters did feature in Playhour but und...
