I'm spending half a day in Lancaster next week and I would like to visit the 'First Age' comic shop. Could you please tell me where it is, John. I do know the city pretty well but I don't go there too often these days and I haven't previously heard of this shop.

I used to always find these cutaway features a crashing bore while admitting that I also knew some kids who positively salivated at the prospect of seeing a motor vehicle with it's inner workings exposed. I for one have reason to be grateful, Kashgar, for those cutaways in Eagle. My father thought ...

I'd love really cheap (like 10p/issue cheap) copies of all those tens of thousands of comics I missed. I'm not sure whether tolworthy is presenting an accurate statement here of what he would consider to be a purchasing opportunity that he couldn't possibly turn down, or whether he is guilty of exa...

Good stories inside too, well if the one i have read is anything to go on. Some bandits in the wild west kidnap a sherrif's son, hide on top of a mountain and cut off a town's water supply until the ransom is paid.

I have been aware of the existence of this great race since Russian Hero won it in 1949, and I can assure Kashgar that at no time since then would the race have been won by a cart-horse, a jolly gee-gee, a Don Key, a haybag of a nag or even Arthur Askey. I've just opened my study window and in the q...

A love of ballet apart, the two girls are as different as chalk from cheese, Ray. Melody-Lee Roberts was abandoned as a baby and spent her childhood moving from one foster home to another. One day Mary Ogden, a Salvation Army officer, who had originally found and named the baby, sees her begging in ...

She was the main character in the BUNTY serial 'Melody Lee - a dancer she'll be!'. The story started in issue 1030 (Oct. 8 1977) and ended in 1067 (Jun. 24 1978). It ran for more than eight months, a highly unusual event in any Thomson girls' paper.
