Hellman of Hammer Force along with these four brilliant books……and I’ve read them all already!

Great presents, guys.

Am interested in House of Daemon myself as I liked it when it was published in Eagle all those years ago.

Got some Amazon vouchers so bought the following Marvel Omnibuses:

Solomon Kane
The Avengers - The Gathering

American comics I know but still good.

I know it's late, but what I had for Christmas was some classic TV DVDs, whole collection of the Carry On films, Satanic Rites Of Dracula , a DVD player/ projector & folding screen and loads of chocolates

Merry Christmas, everyone!

What did you get this year?

I got the Captain Britain omnibus graphic novel which reprinted his Uk Marvel strip, plus 9 DC Graphic Novel in soft and hardback. Not what I call British books but will probably buy the new dalek books in the new year.plus I do have my eye on the Anderson reprints of the UFO & Fireball XL5 comic strips which not cheap but would be a cracking good read

The A - Z of British Newspaper Strips and the Illustrators Special on the Modesty Blaise artists.

2000AD 1985 and 87, plus my favourite Christmas cover annual, Shiver and Shake 1976. Image sharer doesn't seem to be working currently but ..

A bit late but got the following:

Storm book 2 by Don Lawrence
The Dandy Annual 2023
Rupert Bear Annual 2023
Classic Beano and The Dandy
Forbidden Planet's Robby the Robot retro model collectible.

But not much this year.

Anyone else?

I hope you are having a nice Christmas, Abyss. Love your presents.

For me, having successfully tackled the two Storm books, I am now reading Jet-Ace Logan with The Dirty Dozen film playing in the background.

I got books 9-13 in Dewey Lambdin's Alan Lewrie naval history series of novels. Just twelve more to go as Lambdin died recently so no more novels. But I still have the Thomas Kydd, John Pearce and Carlisle and Holbrooke series' which are all ongoing. Started reading naval history novels in the mid 1970s with Alexander Kent's Richard Bolitho series. I loaned one to a friend and he enjoyed it so much he bought the entire series - about 30 books. He read the others as well and said John Pearce was his favourite. It makes buying birthday and Christmas presents easy for me for my three nieces. They just get them from Amazon.

Thanks SID. Happy Christmas to you and everyone on the forum too. .

Yeah, love those Trick it Treat masks. Hoping to get a Salem's Lot "Master" mask in the near future. And I think Neca produce some superb figure sets, especially horror ones. I recently I bought some Kurt Russell "The Thing" figure. Got the set with the mutating Husky. Cool is an understatement.
