Where did I go wrong? Was my question offensive?
Or is really no-one able to help me out??
SO AGAIN, PLEASE:
I am looking for Express Weekly No 132 for 30 March 1957. I do not need an actual copy, but a hi-res scan from the weekly educational feature "Nature was First" on page 6 would be very helpful.
Please send me an e-mail at <john.wigmans[at]hetnet.nl> first.
Thanks in advance.

I finally managed to get a (fuzzy) pdf-file from the British Library. But I still hope for a better hi-res scan... So, who is able to help me with this??

Re: Express Weekly No 132: anyone? PLEASE !!
Express Weekly is one of those elusive titles. I've been collecting comics since 1965 and hardly ever come across Express Weekly.
I just googled Pure Nostalgia Comics (they have a stall at the London comic mart when it combines the UK comics mart, very friendly people) and they have issues 131 and 132 sold as a pair or individually. Price is £10 but it isn't clear if that is for the pair or individual issue.
Forgot to make it clear - they sell comics online and I presume they will mail to Europe.

Before they stopped selling comics to specialise in original comic art & publishing, the Book Palace had a whole stack of them at incredibly reasonable prices - I think £5 an issue.stevezodiac wrote:Express Weekly is one of those elusive titles.

I bought one specially to illustrate the Mike Noble article, and spent a day there just prior to the interview trying to find examples of his early work.

Re: Express Weekly No 132: anyone? PLEASE !!
I scanned a couple of his Lone Ranger pages on here a few months back but can't remember which topic.
It was the Sally topic in the Girl's Comics section but I only scanned one page. Mike Noble is a true great of comic art. I liken his trademark men running with one leg "cocked" to Wayne Boring's Superman flying with the same lower limb action. But on the subject of Artist's peccadilloes I wonder why George Tuska always drew those tombstone teeth? Surely he could see they looked unattractive?

UPDATE (02/01/2012): Des Shaw, editor of Spaceship Away, kindly sent me a wonderful scan. Thank you very much, Des!
One to go: I am still looking for Mickey Mouse Weekly No 752 for 9 October 1954. I do not need an actual copy, but a hi-res scan from the weekly feature “Something to Make” would be very helpful. Unfortunately I do not know which page, but it was part of the b/w editorial page at the end of the issue. (Previously posted Tue Jun 14, 2011 10:52 am, but still no scan...)
