Oh wow have always loved Trevor Metcalfe's work so would love to see those- any chance you could share an image? What Dandy issues are they in?

Bought something I've been wanting for a long, long time but haven't seen up for sale - the Whizzer and Chips Winter Special. Very happy with it, and also probably the first comic I've bought in over a year - maybe even two. Can't wait for it to arrive.

Wow! Have you read them? Please do share some pages if you get the chance I would love to see inside

Thanks Kashgar

Came across some artwork for Joan and Billy in Wonderland, just wondering if anybody knows where it is from or who the artist is?

I won't have any either, Steve. In fact, to be truthful I'm not even sure what a Power Comic is!! Clarification gratefully received.

When a company releases, for example, a new perfume, instead of advertising it on billboards and t.v. they start "whisper advertising". This is where they only tell a few people about the product, and naturally word will be passed around. This would lead to people buying it on sight because they've...

Perhaps someone can help with my personal pecadillo. If i go to an ephemera fair or a flea market and see a pile of comics I will invariably buy them. However if I am at a comic fair or at 30th Century Comics where almost every comic on earth is there to be had I will usually buy nothing. When i wa...

Was considering getting The Midget comic on ebay. Only five pounds, but I decided against it and bought something else instead.
