Comics UK

Another one to consider is Preacher. Some fantastic stories in there. Forget Da Vinci code, read the Holy blood storyline. Plus art from some of the best Brits as well. Steve Dillon just keeps getting better.

When we get character migration from one comic to the other, it will always be difficult to keep a chat in one comic forum. But I would guess that it will always be best to start the chat in the first comic that you found the character. Example for me would be The Mighty Wilson. I first read it in W...

Earl, that makes perfect sense to me. :lol: As I only collect UK adventure papers, I find that the cent sign is guaranteed to ensure that comic X is a comic that I will not buy! :wink: It still amazes me that some of our UK comics can turned up in the most unusual places. Keep the scans coming. I ma...

Hi Folks.I was wondering if anybody has a list of comics from the 60's,70's and 80's that still have Annuals.I know DC Thompson knock out Beano and Dandy and a few spin-offs...Bash St Kids,Dennis the Menace,etc..But do the likes of Lion,Speed,Battle,Action,Hotspur,Victor still produce Annuals,if no...

The problem is that these themes (ie nothing to do with superheroes) were tried before and the audience was found to have been too limited (Crisis, Deadline and Revolver are the three examples that spring to mind) to be fiscally viable. I do agree that comics un-necessarliy limit themselves to super...

Finished reading them all now! :cry: I was astonished to find so few original stories in there as many of them seem to be recycled characters/storylines. Originals seemed to be Hammer, Bushwhacker, Tad Turner, Young Starhawk, Jasper Sly, Tom Smith's Schooldays (with a style reminiscent of Rian Hughe...

6629996366 wasn't the lot that you were looking at was it? I was surprised to get it for the princely sum of ?2.70!

I have already read the 1st 10 and have promised Cap'n Storm that I will get him scans of Young Starhawk!

Put in a bit of a joke bid for 90 Buddy comics and was gobsmacked to win them! :shock: Now that I have got them, I am more than happy to own them. A lot of my fave characters are in the comic. General Jumbo and Billy The Cat to name but two. But the real prize has been the art. I have identifed no l...

Definitely not the 1965 Annual. Got that one.

These type of posts bug me. (Grumpy old man alert!) If I want to know about London, I can hit google for a search instead of having a bb get what amounts to e-graffiti all over it.

Must be getting old as I am less willing to put up with junk mail and rubbish like this nowadays!

Fantastic story! Didn't see it first time around, but completely enthralled by it as a thirty-something! The Action book by Martin Baker is well worth getting hold of to find out how that story actually was going to end up. The published version was very much a cop-out! :oops: (What a pun!) The orig...

Clancy And The Man! Not a bad story. Still reads well 20 odd years later!

Shaqui, nice new avvy! I believe that Commandos are reprinted in Scandinavia and are doing quite nicely

I don't know. We had more than a few positive black comic characters over the years. Examples that spring to mind are: Harlem Heroes (2000AD) Ebony (Crunch) and a female as well! Blackjack (Action) Sgt Rayker (Warlord) Judge Giant and his son (2000AD) There are loads more but I just can't think of t...

I have to agree with Lew, but his mutlipier is out! :lol: Average cost of pocket money crisps is about 35 pence (7/- to older peeps! :P ) Average cost of comic is ?1.80 or even more. So while it is good that kids have a big selection of comics (even though most are TV tie-ins) to buy, the difference...
