They were small paperback books published by Knockabout under licence from Fleetway. I think they only did two.

Yeah, I'd never heard of them until I saw them listed in the back of an issue of Knockabout Comics! The first one's in the post as well

Nipped in the wednesday charity shop and got-------
CHARLTON COMICS FUNNY ANIMALS 2 1984-------£1, difficult choice between this and Atomic Mouse.
FIRST COMICS E-MAN 1984 funny issue similar to ELF QUEST---£1, decided on this instead of a normal 36 page Judge Dredd the early cases which hopefully I can pick up next week.
DC ALL-STAR SQUADRON 1983--£1, Chose this because it has knights in the storyline.
----and now according to my shopping list I will need to buy a partridge in a pear tree followed by eleven other unusual christmas gifts

Had a day out in Manchester today, and came back with:
-This month's Viz (with a free calendar!)
-The Dandy No.3281 (last issue before that disastrous 2004 revamp)
-The Dandy No.3262 (bumper 40 page issue for some reason)
-Deadline #25 (hardly see this anywhere so always pick it up when I see it)
-Nutty issues 289 and 291
-Zit issues 42 and 68
-The Beezer No.1706 (great Numskulls cover)
-Sick No.41 (from 1966, one of those many MAD Magazine knock-offs that were all over the place in the fifties and sixties)
Not bad for a tenner (not including Viz)

MCM's 'Comicon' events at Birmingham's NEC seem to be a bit of a misnomer these days as hardly anybody appears to sell British comics there anymore. Fortunately this worked to my advantage yesterday as I was the only person who appeared to have any interest in the one dealer who DID turn up with piles of them (at very reasonable prices). Consequently I staggered home quite happily with armfuls of Jags, Jackies, Girls' Crystals and various picture libraries that would have been instantly snapped up at any other comic mart!

I'd have fought you over those Jags if I'd been there!
Were they the early tabloid ones or the 1969 smaller issues?
