Well done Abyss , liking the fact that you are showing the pictures.

At last I've found a shop in Llandudno selling comics it's called Geeks Retreat. This is a comics games shop near the main street. They haven't got loads of comics but at a £1 each I decided to buy £20 pounds worth because I'm travelling home tomorrow, looking forward to reading them in the months a...

The cover painting was by Brian Bolland. He's 0ood, isn't he. Yes,it would have been good if the stories inside had carried on the cartoony theme. I am on holiday in Llandudno where a few years ago an antique warehouse had a few boxes of Archie comics and while on holiday I would nip in most days a...

A word about the Gangland comic I bought in the list above. I was attracted to the cover because it looked similar to the work Lawson Wood used to produce. I knew the cover bore no relation to the three stories inside so I just merely bought It because of the cover. https://i.imgur.com/iV8B3AR.jpg

You could always frame this Hotspurs and sell them on eBay or put them on your own wall. I have framed comic covers on my bedroom wall. From the Denis Gifford book of Christmas covers. (The pages are perforated for removal and framing and I came across several copies for 50p each a few years ago). ...

In the 50s it was all 'Play up ! And play the game ! ,stiff upper lip and for girls, Jolly hockey sticks ! I hardly ever read story papers although there were a number around at the time with great cover illustrations. The school stories in them seemed middle class a bit like the bbc at the time. I ...

That's a nice looking comic but I never read it as a wee boy. I'm very well aware of it now, though. The first photogravure comic, I think. There looks like some lovely stuff in there. Can you tell me what the swords and shields story is, please. I started right away on cowboys and superheroes in t...

In the 40s/50s my childhood was a busy time probably yours was the same, story papers were of little interesr to me except for the illustrations. One of the few colour comics around at the time was Mickey Mouse. Looking at thie one shown from my collection I .can now see why the front and back pages...

Another site to read full comics which has been going for a few years and to be honest I...

Yes, when you have the money you can't find anything and when you're short of cash there's loads to buy. Cycled to a distant charity shop this morning to look through their comic boxes. Picked up a comic called EGYPT (dc vertigo) and noticed it ran for 7 issues and that all 7 issues were in the box ...

Bought a near complete year of Hotspur s (1980) which helps fill in my mini collection. Recently realised that I had most of them already. :headbash: Nevermind, the majority of the newer set are in a better condition so have swapped them out. Sods law. I've done that many times. Once bought a batch...
