I believe issues 7-14 were text stories as you mention above.

BTW I sent you wrong email addy by error as confused last part of my work email addy, have re-sent. APOLOGIES.

It was probably Daredevil #1 which my mate Terry Smith gave to me around 1970. We used to go around buying comics together in the 1960s. We lost contact when he married and moved away but a few years ago I got off the bus where I live and there he was with his wife and three children visiting his ...

Dear Captain,

What a beautiful goodbye said with sincerity and style from a Comics UK legend.
I haven't been here for as long as you but I have enjoyed reading your posts and your sense of humour that prevails throughout them.
As you sail off to new adventures I wish you good health and good luck ...

The odd thing about the Dr who strips is I now have all of the TV Comic ones, which is the reason that I have been writing chronologies of them in another section here.
Only 30 percent original copies, the rest I downloaded and printed off.
Obviously for myself and not to rip the artists/writers off ...

With the Fireball Anthology of strips, I thought that it was a shame that it omitted the TV Comic strips.


It wasn't really feasible unless someone came forward with a complete collection of TV Comic covering that period. Contrary to popular belief, I don't actually own every single comic with ...

Further information for TV Tornado.

After researching this,I know believe that other than sporadic text stories,the Voyage strip lasted from issues 1-6 only.
All of these were 2 pages in black and white.
Issue 1 "The Seaviews Ghost"
Issue 2 "The Green Monsters of the Deep".
Issue 3 "Crime ...

Space:1999 is at the top of my list, as anyone will gather from the comic anyhology for it.

I had hoped that ...

This (privately produced) volume - " Eagle - true world heroes" - was a new one to me when I found it recently. Anyone else seen this or similar?

Very interesting Richard, I had also never seen this before. Excellent ...

I saw your name connected to podcasts, do you still do these and if so, could you provide a link?


No. I've only done one podcast for someone else, and that was about the UFO comic anthologies. :oops:


Odd.... I read something about you doing a series of podcasts but I guess that was false ...

I THOUGHT I once read a chronology for ON THE BUSES there and imagined I had dreamt it as couldn't find it again.
Either way: I am SLOWLY (just been so busy) doing a chronology of the ON THE BUSES strips here.


As sid, it may have been up somewhere originally & taken down.

I asked for an ...

IN REALITY......

Only ONE MAN has ever written about this lost to time 34 paged document and would therefore be reasonable to suggest that that person is the owner of the script ....

I rest my case. You are a legend.


Thank you for the continuing accolade. I ...

There were 4 TV Tornado annuals published and the ...
