Interesting discussion. I have been a buyer since about 1999 (current profile says 2001) and sold a few bits and bobs over the years. I have only had a few parcels "go missing" and claimed the value (both as a buyer and seller), got the Post Office money and not felt it's a growing problem. It's cer...

Good try and thanks too but no biscuit this time See http://www.comics.org/series/1918/covers/

Funnily enough the first thing that cover reminded me of wasn't actually a comic cover but the Dorothy McGuire film The Spiral Staircase. Although an image of scared girl dressed in nightie coming down spooky staircase holding a candle waiting for handsome man to save her must have been used umptee...

Sorry this is a non-UK question but I suspect a lot of people here read DC comics in the Seventies and I've trawled Nick Cardy, Jeff Jones and Neal Adams covers for DC during that period and can't for the life of me think what this German cover reminds me of. Anyone any clue? http://standby4action.f...

For matrix, Shaqui and SteveZodiac, i thought you'd like to know I've just uploaded some more Caswell artwork including that sent by someone who sent me a comment on a previous post

Talking of Whizzer and Chips, may I ask a favour? A friend was telling me he had a letter published in the early run of Whizzer and Chips in which he wrote about the quantity of exclamation marks that appeared in a previous issue or story! <<< (had to do that!) His name is Michael Jack. I'd be grate...

And Phil I have now added this Bellamy to the blog and checklist but you sent me off looking at my Lilliputs so I added a Sheppard article and one to the Visual Rants blog too! Time to lie down!!

I wonder what Norman's opinion of this tiny, unsigned 1956 illustration from Lilliput no.229 is? Personally I'm in two minds, but there are enough similarities to Frank Bellamy's style (particularly the nearside boot and leg) to make me think that he could have drawn it. Beyond that I can't think o...

(Sorry for straying so far from your original topic btw Peace. These flights of fancy seem to take on a life of their own at times!) - Phil Rushton ...And to prove that, Phil do you have a date for this book - and is it published by Blackie? I have a copy of one - no date - with a Raymond Sheppard ...

Sorry about the sizing Al. I thought I'd cracked THAT problem! Could someone be kind enough to tell me if there are parameters to use when linking to an image online --with a resize parameter. Everything I just read on the Net does not work here! I could have course host an image at the 'optimum' si...

and here's another Robbie...with art by Alex Toth!! The whole story can be seen here:

Glad to see such a specialised blog up and running again. I remember finding stuff I thought you'd like but couldn't make contact, so now I can! I previously had a blog called the Art of Diving on the website of the dive school where I did some teaching. That blog no longer exists but I've created a...

You've got your work cut out for you BeanoMaster, but I, for one, shall be watching the blog. Don't forget you have a wealth of knowledge out there in the Forum and via Lew Stringer's blog, already. Good luck
Norman
