Picked up 15 Plug comics on Sunday for next to nothing.

Found 3 "Star - love stories in pictures" digests as well ( which means I now have 4 in my collection!!)

Also ended up with the first issue of "the crunch" which I don't really want if anyone's interested?

For some reason I can't get into boys adventure comics (apart from the first couple of years of the New Eagle)
I very much enjoy reading all the lassies comics though!

As promised finally had delivery of my 15 Dandy comics from 1952 , 53 & 54, ranging between VG+ to FN - condition. Also, I sourced five 1949 issues of the Dandy comic in VG+ to FN- needed. Only need 18 comics more to have the full run of 40 issues.

Agreed !! A great comic that ultimately folded after a year and merged into The Hotspur.

Very nice stuff as always Sir and it's so heartening to see not only these old comics in such great condition after so many decades but also the interest in them ,which I think is the whole point.

Thanks jim244. Yeah, always nice to source issues needed , especially in good condition.

Coincidentally, just located another couple of 1949 Dandy comics needed to complete the full year. Recently got my hands on issues no's 389 & 400. Awaiting their delivery. Will upload asap. :)
