Those are some interesting comics. That Jim Crow character is very dated... What are other people's oldest comics in their collections? I have a copy of Illustrated Chips from 1904 and a Funny Wonder from 1915 with Charlie Chaplin on the cover. However after reading this http://lewstringer.blogspot....

I've been waiting for this to come out. Looks like an interesting read. I intend to buy a copy in a couple weeks.

I went to a charity shop and they had a box full of Beanos and Dandys that they were advertising for free. I found the Beano and Dandys from the week I was born and when I got to the till they said they even more in the back. I ended up leaving the shop with about 200 Beanos (no duplicates and none ...

Thank you for answering my question.

I wonder if the answer was in Ray Moore's Topper Tales index. I dont have a copy myself. I've only managed to get hold of his Beezer index.

Were these the same picture stories that were printed in early issues of the Topper?

I've just re-read this amazing book as I was feeling nostalgic towards the Dandy as we approach 10 years since the comic's closure. Overall the book is amazing, I love the details on all the artists and the inner workings of the Dandy office and the reprints of classic strips. My nitpicks though: It...

I saw on ebay a complete privately printed collection of Ken Reid's Jonah and Jinx strips in the Beano. It was on sale for a few hundred pounds and got no bids. I'd love a more official DC Thomson release of this, but not at that price.

I bought 4 old issues of Buddy for sale at a 2nd hand shop for a pound. I've never seen a copy of it before "in the wild" but its an interesting comic. Jonah on the back page was the main reason I bought it. But its interesting seeing how its full of old Beano Adventure characters as well as assume ...

I see old issues of 2000AD sold quite a bit in comics shops. But they aren't really my cup of tea.

I very rarely see old comics in shops. I do see the occasional old annual from the 1950s but usually for comics I don't particularly like, like Lion and Radio Fun.

I know this is a very old thread, but I didnt want to create a new one. I've been looking at DC Thomson Annuals myself in particular Bananaman. Just looking at a Bananaman Annual 1984 for sale on eBay and it doesnt look like a DC Thomson one (the rest are). The selling even has a picture of the lega...

Those are some brilliant covers on those funny albums, Is the stuff inside them as good?

John Dallas who drew Beryl the Perial and Tricky Dicky for the Topper has died.

I completely agree with you Digifiend, I was repeating opinions that I dont agree with from certain blogs. The continued success of the Beano and the Phoenix goes to show it. I wonder if the Dandy would still be around if it had copied more of the Phoenix's approach. Focusing on subscriptions for ex...
