Re: Boys World #1 - 1950

I had a look on Google Maps, and 64 Long Acre is the opposite direction from Leicester Square.

I still fondly remember A Bed Called Fred from my sister's Buntys in the late sixties. I'd love to see it in your book.

Re: How many original Commando stories have there been?

Re: The longest running comics that have never been renumber

Re: What comics did you buy today?

Paw That's odd. The site is definitely there, and the URL is correct, but you're right, clicking on it doesn't work right. I found it by searching for "king comic annual" on Google, then clicked on King Comic Annual (UK Magazine) - MandrakeWiki. That should do it. The listing says what strips are in...

I know of versions in German and Dutch, and I assume it's available in Italian, but I have it in Fre...
