Wonderland No.1 (1961) from our very own Adam Eterno.

Check you two out, Next it'll be long slow walks along the beach.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I have cut my gaps to five in the Commando run. I weakened and bought the issue of 370 that has been on the Bay for a while.

Arrived in the mail this morning was this year's Roy of the Rovers special

Super happy with my find today! Found a 1953 (or 1952? who knows) Oor Wullie book for just $20 (NZD, so about £10). Sadly it appears to be bound into a hardcover with Oor Wullie written on the spine in gold lettering, but is otherwise plaim.

I absolutely adore Dudley Watkins and love Oor Wullie with a passion and always have - as a kid I once even bought a metal bucket. Inside the front cover there is a wonderful full page piece of some 100+ pictures of Wullie pulling faces! Thinking I might blow it up and put it up on the wall as a large poster. Might try and figure out how to upload a photo here, or maybe make a blog post on my site, but I'll leave that til tomorrow as its getting late here in New Zealand...

That is an epic find George as those annuals are going for over £100 in the UK.

I took delivery yesterday of a bit of a grail. Issues 1 to 69 of Spellbound and it does what is says on the tin as they kept me spellbound all last night. Unfortunately a couple will need to be replaced but that's better than trying to find them all one at a time.

So Paw Broon doesn't worry about me, I am more than happy to divulge that I got them for a lot less than market price.

Now all I need to find is the Supercats pendant!

Wow! Brilliant deals for both of you!

Another Rebellion hardback has come in - Billy’s Boots Vol 1 with loads of Scorcher tales.

Arriving this morning was this year's 2000AD sci-fi special, and from Will-Comics, the big bundle of the 1990 issues of the Topper, and the Beezer and Topper.

For me, this now leaves me with five issues to go (including No. 1963) before I have the full set of that year of the Topper.

As soon as everything is updated, I will update my wants list thread in the Buying and Selling forum.

Today I got the latest four commando comics that’s the time I have been to a big town since the lockdown and the first comics for a couple of months

Bought today from the Beano Shop, another reproduction Beano annual (this time, the 1962 edition)

I will have that sent on to me via SkyPax in early August)

I should think so!! There's neither reason nor justification for allowing yourself to be ripped off by greedy chancers, Steve.
