Re: Max Miller

I have hundreds of rough Film Fun strips drawn by Wally Robertson. At first I thought they were roughs before submitting the completed art but later realised they were scripts which editors preferred to be submitted sketched out. It looks like he submitted scripts for just about every strip includin...

Re: DC Thomson cut 300 jobs and close down some titles

I always see them in Smiths at Lewisham, I subscribed for a few years but they started to take over my bedroom, would have preferred to subscribe for only the new issues and not the reprints.

Re: Star Wars UK Monthly Comics Prices Marvel

Wasn't aware Infantino had drawn Star Wars, he's one of my top five American artists alongside Kirby, Ditko, Gil Kane and Gulacy.

Re: GCD indexing anomaly

As I said the Beezer pages are numbered and the inside back page is numbered as 15 but those four centre pages are not numbered. I agree with Al and am tempted to alter that indexed issue that is currently 20 pages to make it 16 pages but wonder if the original indexer would take umbrage. I have add...

Re: Star Wars UK Monthly Comics Prices Marvel

I appreciated the Al Williamson Star Wars strips. Bought the squarebound softcover collections. Don't think I read them though.

GCD indexing anomaly

I found some Beezers in my storage unit and among them are Beezer and Cracker and Beezer and Plug issues. These are 16 page tabloid comics but the four centre pages are either Best of Cracker or Best of Plug sections. Printed sideways and designed to be pulled out, folded in half and cut along the t...

Re: Star Wars UK Monthly Comics Prices Marvel

When I worked on the post office counter in SE London from 1985 to 1990 I used to cash giros for David Prowse whose gym was nearby. So I had the distinction of serving Darth Vader.

Re: Mighty Moth and Barney Bear

I missed the last issue of TV comic but wrote to Polystyle and received a copy together with a letter from the editor which I still have.
