I failed to buy a Beano comic no.66 1939 in fine condition. You win some you lose some. 🥺

Just come back from the biggest boot sale I have been to for a couple of years not one British comic on the hundreds of stalls not even the bootie perennial comic 2000AD very lean pickings a couple of stalls selling modern Marvel and DC comics most £4/£5 each, too much for this old pensioners pocket. I did buy a Steed and Mrs Peel graphic novel so it almost is a British comic.

Someone snapped up a bargain yesterday with a lovely bright copy of Buster no. 1 dated May 28th 1960 selling on Ebay for less than £79 in nice condition. If I didn't already own a copy I would have definitely bid on it.

There were a few interesting items in the charity shops today but I don!t think I was in a buying mood,
These included Greyfriars Holiday annuals from 1979_to_1986 at £2 each ,they are made up of reprints of the Magnet and Gem etc,
I like the nostalgic aspect of these old story papers but too much reading for my liking.

Another shop had a box full of Judge Dread comics at a £1 esch

The market had a 1958 Lion annual and some Whoopee comics

Interesting items but me no buy today :D

If you like that deal, there’s another seller selling 1-255 for £250 with free p&p and they’ll accept offers. Just saying…….

Just seen on eBay a first issue copy of the 1969 British comic Super DC with part of cover missing, loads of other cover faults and it looks like foxing on the paper for £100 or buy it now for £140 , I know some of the later issues are very hard to get of the 14 issue run I have been trying to get issue 13 to complete my run for many years. There is often copy’s of issue 1 for sale for £10 ,
