Talk here about just about anything associated with British comics or story papers and the industry that does not fit in any other forum.
There are separate fora open to registered members for discussing specific comics, artists, websites etc.
Cycled the few miles to the charity shop I usually visit once a month (hard work for an old guy like me) to see if they had any comics.
Searched through the four boxes of comics they had and could only find two Marvel comics of interest.They have a children's area with lots of annuals and I was happy to find a Gerald Swan book there , I have 4 or 5 by this publisher now and they are worth collecting if only for the great covers.
Paid £5 for all three which are pictured below.
I was only thinking the other day I would like to get more Gerald Swan books, uncanny.
Can anyone explain what those little symbols mean beside each topic title? Some yellow, some grey, some have a star some have a plus sign. "Don't make no sense to me not nohow." Can't find a glossary anywhere.
Just got back from Kempton Park antiques fair. Picked up six annuals for £10.00.
Sally Annual 1973, 74 and 75
Girl Annual 1965
Princess Gift Book for Girls 1963 and 1970.
Seller had a boxful of annuals for £10 the lot but too many for me to carry so just picked these six.
Just got the first Triumph annual today, from 1937. I've been looking for them for years and only managed to get the 1939 one previously. They hardly ever come up for sale anywhere. There's only 5 in the set, and the 1940 one seems to be so scarce that we haven't got a picture of the cover in our gallery. I've seen the cover on the back of a Triumph comic, just a small black and white picture. Never seen one in colour.
