Re: All-New Roy of the Rovers Graphic Novels

The line "no money, no players, no hope" in that teaser ad makes it sound worryingly grim'n gritty, like American comics of the 90s. I just hope they haven't gone the whole hog and hired Rob Liefeld to draw it; Roy's famous left foot would be in real trouble, then!

I am fairly certain that most of the country had better things to think about. I, for instance, put up a shelf!

Re: What comics did you buy today?

Have you seen what that full run of Vulcan went for on compal? I bought a full run this year on eBay for £40. The compal price was incredible. I couldn't believe the price! I thought it may have been a Scottish set which are worth that much more but they weren't. Maybe the buyer thought they were! ...

Re: What comics did you buy today?

Yesterday, a gentleman from Clacton who had been pointed in my direction by Central City Comics in Ipswich turned up on my doorstep with a boxload of what he described as old British Marvel comics he'd found under the bed in his family home. He didn't want an exorbitant amount of money; in fact, he ...

And also Titan's Doctor Who comic, and their DC reprint line.
