Hi all, Just thought I would post this as I was delighted to find a copy of Whoopee number 3 with the original, unused, free gift - a set of 36 'Spooky Snap Cards'. As you have see in the pictures below, they have never been used. I will be listing them for sale today at 7pm (Tuesday 3rd Feb) on my ...

This is kind of related, I really like this "Santa's Puzzle Picture" from the 1936 Teddy Tail's Annual which claims "There are over 20 objects in this picture beginning witht he letter 'S'". Trouble is there are no answers listed in the book. I used this as the Picture Round for the Pub Quiz I do in...

This sounds like a wonderful idea! Any chance of you posting pictures??

Hi all, Do any of who have a copy of Eagle Comic #3? I have had the pleasure of reading Dan Dare from 1950 but do not have issue number 3. I am going to be uploading scans of the Dan Dare strips from 1950 onto Pinterest. If you have a copy could you upload a scan / photo of the front cover and page ...

Hi all, Just finished posting the ENTIRE Dandy Book 1953 on our pinterest account, so, if you'd like to read the 1953 Dandy Book, just see "Stafford Books and Comics" Pinterest board; http://www.pinterest.com/booksandcomics/dandy-book-1953/ http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/ff/fd/f3/fffdf37417c...

Really need to get round to listing it online. I've had an Aladdins cave of comics recently that I am sorting for people and enjoying reading items from the 1910s through to the 1960s!

Thanks Lew! Much appreciated, this printers strike, was is a nationwide thing?

Cheers, Adam

Hi all, I'm sifting through some Eagle comics and gotten up to the year 1959. I can't seem to match certain numbers up, I have the following at the moment; Vol 10 #1 - 3rd Jan Vol 10 #2 - 10th Jan some gaps then Vol 10 #14 - 4th Apr some gaps then Vol 10 #26 - Undated Vol 10 #27 then it goes to Vol ...

Just won a 1941 Dandy Monster Comic on eBay, the one with Desperate Dan playing on the cover! Looking forward to this arriving

Phil (Philcom55) - Is it true!? Just reading that article you sent me the link to, In a book published in 1949 Geoffrey Trease began something of a witch-hunt against Enid Blyton, of all people, whom he accused of polluting children's minds with anodyne fantasies which left them ill-equipped to deal...

They are charing £1 each!?! That'll mean they'll be sitting in the shop for a while? Katherine House Hospice in Stafford had a load of 1990s Beanos, I swear in one lot of 25 issues they were asking £30.00.

No problems colcool007, your definately right about this insight into moral views. It had never crossed my mind that there was this negative attitude towards these comics. I can't recall anytime reading comics for moral purposes or anyone from my teachers, parents, family or friends parents etc disc...

Thanks Steve and Phoenix! This has been really helpful. From the scant information I found before posting on here, it seemed that there was a disagreement between writers / editors. I think I will best view it as an obscure oddity in comics publications? Ignoring the war years, do we know if there w...

Thanks Phil! I shall have a gander tonight at work. I'm still just shocked by it all, I never thought it was released / designed with that mindset in place....

Hi all, Firstly please excuse my ignorance if this is common knowledge. I've been surprised at the the contents of an advert for The Eagle comic inside a copy of Picture Post from 1952. Inside the front cover is a full page advert which makes me rethink what I knew of Eagle comic (which I must admit...
