Wow, he must've deteriorated quickly, what a shame. Condolences to his family. RIP.

I've just been sorting through my annuals. And one Dandy Book did have a couple of loose pages and a few missing pages. Luckily it was a duplicate and the other copy is in good condition. Can't sell it at a car boot sale when they resume like the few other duplicates I have (who'd want a book with m...

Then she can't be named after Minnie either. She wasn't called Hermione until they started giving the characters realistic names (in Minnie's case, Hermione Makepeace) instead of having the kids be called what their stories are (i.e. Minnie was literally called Minnie the Minx) and the parents just ...

Looks like they stopped Gag Vault last week, so now it's just Perishers reprints and Andy Capp.

And now the Garth reprints are in the bin too.

God, that Chortle With Chums book was hard to find. Never did see it on the shelves in either WHSmith or Waterstones, so ended up ordering it in for in store collection. Also got the Beano and Dandy annuals.

Can you post a scan of the cover "comic football 1" please?

Nigel Dobbyn, who did work for 2000AD, Sonic the Comic, and The Beano, has died aged 56.

I buy it every week anyway. I'm surprised they didn't bundle a gift and jack up the price - they actually haven't done that at all in the school holidays this year, which makes a nice change.

Well I think it looks fine except for one minor detail - the Comics UK logo has jagged white outlines. That didn't matter on the main site with it's white background, but it's obvious on the forum. Al, do you have the original files used to create that logo? If it was a PNG instead of a GIF, you cou...

Tesco, huh? Thanks - I already looked in WHSmith for this but it wasn't there.

Those other genres used to have their own books - Football and Starblazer (though I think a sports one would need a more versatile title now so it can run things like Tough of the Track). It's a shame they can't expand the pocket library line. It's down to just Commando now, but it used to also have...

Yeah, the Mirror did.

I liked kill or be killed as well as TWD and most Bat stuff!
Thanks

You're probably better off at either Reddit or CBR than here.

Striker's cancelled again.
