Why do you need to enjoy it in the shops? Just buy the damn thing and take it home, it ain't a library, y'know!

Re: Thoughts on collecting comics

I can also appreciate someone is doing this for posterity (although it depends what happens with the collection - poor old Denis Gifford being a case in point) I'm assuming, starscape, that you would have wanted the whole of Denis's collection to be displayed somewhere, perhaps in a kind of living ...

Re: Thoughts on collecting comics

One question comes to mind though; have you read them all? (If so, that's even more impressive. :)) Can't admit to being that impressive Lew. I've certainly read a lot of them but I gave up on the idea long ago that I would ever be able to read them all. I don't mean to be rude but isn't that a lit...

One of the best kids dramas ever made, in my opinion. Baffling, but wonderful.

Gareth Thomas RIP

Gareth Thomas, best known for playing Roj Blake in the 70s sci-fi Blake's 7, has died of heart failure. He was 71. A sad loss to the TV industry.

Great documentary, informative, witty and very well put together. Made me remember again why I've aways liked Pat Mills.

Re: Doctor Who Comic - launches February 26

And the indicia in issue 3 refers to it as Volume 3. So DWC 6 (which concludes year 1 for the 12th and 11th Doctors) is the...

Re: Ebay - you want how much for it???

It's a shame, really, as the issues that are basicaly unsaleable are also te ones that are probably the most worth reading. 2000 AD is about the only title I can think of that you can say that about.

Doctor Who Magazine comes the same way.
