Comics UK

"Holy Specsavers" well spotted.

Just checked the SMCW covers on GCD and it's not that title.

Watching an old Bargain Hunt on Challenge I noticed an edge of a comic in the gackground which I first thought was Tales of Suspense but now think its Spider Man Comics Weekly.

Manhunt 9pm Sundays. Second episode this Sunday coming.

As far as I remember Thunderbirds was always shown as a one hour show with just ad breaks. Sunday tea time in London.

I'll dig them out and scan them for everyone to see. They're on top of wardrobe and hard to get to.

Since I started indexing comics onto Grand Comics Database I've noticed that the Tom and Jerry strips had a conclusion on the cover but then carried on for a second page making me wonder if a single page version was syndicated out elsewhere.

They've just started showing Manhunt with the beautiful Cyd Hayman. I watched it first time around. And Thunderbirds.

I have a couple of original Alan Morley Keyhole Kate strips. Nice to know these things are unique.

I have these original cartoons which look like they are from Buster. I've looked through some 60s Busters but can't match any up and suspect they are from maybe 1971-73. Can anyone find any of the Busters these actually appeared in? They also might have been in the Buster book of gags but I suspect ...

Buyer emailed me yesterday to say comic had arrived, so drama over.

I posted a £2.95 Dandy to an ebayer 2nd class last Saturday and they've today opened a non delivery case. I already told them I'd had a history of late deliveries from Greenwich PO and the counter clerk said quite a few customers had complained about delayed delivery. Can't understand their impatien...

Halloween edition cover of the London Evening Standard which I found quite impressive. Drawn by Ben Jennings who's work I'm not familiar with.

The two titles I'd like to have complete runs of are Solo and TV Tornado, I only have about 30 of the latter and had just a handful of issues of Solo but I realised I'd never get a set so sold those few I had. I began collecting in 1965 when a friend knocked on my door and showed me TV Century 21. H...

That would be Mandy Picture Story Library #234. Has four "Super-Spooky" stories. Looks interesting.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. World adventure library series also ran for only 14 issues but getting a full run could be a problem as I put issue #14 on ebay a few years ago and it sold for £1131.00 An astonishing sum. I can only assume it wasn't distributed and is very rare.
