As a matter of interest which issue are we talking about?

- Phil R.

23rd October 1976 ? - I'd take one in any condition!

Shame it was a '77 issue - I wasnt aware of any being particularly scarce.

I went to a very large bootie this morning one stall had a large plastic box full of little star comics he was willing to take any offer, he was a dealer in old toys and told me he could not even give them away, I did think about giving him a quid for the lot but I would then be stuck with them. Al...

So many over the years but the best must be an original 1940 Beano Annual for £4. Some scribble on the cover, back cover detached, no spine but all pages in good condition, bought at a local car boot sale, seller told me it was 1950's but I knew what it was as soon as I picked it up.

Got it, love it, thanks for producing it.

Please sir, can I have some more!!

Hi All, I was recently lucky enough to win the first 290 issues of Victor in a "bricks and mortar" auction. (£130.00 bargain?) I seem to have got the makings of a very nice collection, i already have some 400 or so issues from the late 1960s/early 1970s. What's the best method for storage? Does anyo...

I have to say I am not overly impressed with the site selling these copies (myebook) I have paid the £2.99 and this is confirmed in my account status however when I try and view my ebook I am prompted for the book password which (to date) I have not been supplied with. I guess it's only £2.99 but it...

Hi,

Theres a great second hand bookshop in Winton, down a side road opposite Lidl.

He would I am sure be interested in some of the earlier stuff but comics from the 80s and 90s may prove more difficult to move.

Had a bit of a reading splurdge lately. First came "The Passage" by Justin Cronin. 900 pages, absolutely wonderful, one of the best books I have ever read, finished in about 2 weeks which, when you consider it's size is a recommendation in itself. Followed this by picking up Patrick Ness' "Chaos Wal...

Sorry this is a little off-topic as it refers to US comics but nevertheless a tale worth telling...... When I was four years of age I received the first of what would become regular bundles of US comics courtesy of my sisters pen friend (thanks Jackie) at Xmas and Birthday time. If only I had known ...

It's caught up with the material it was reprinting as the American editions are/were late.

Which really doesn't auger well for any potential future the mag may or may not now have.

Hi Folks,

Mandy
Judy

many thanks

Pete

The Evil Pixies have duly joined, looks like it's just us so far.

Hi Tony, It's another dissenting voice re US coverage. I can pick up (either online or in FP) any number of mags devoting some or all their coverage to US comics, there is only one Crikey! however. I have been with you since the start, I have seen goodish issues and I have seen great issues but eith...
