It's right there next to the barcode on the back cover, so the cheaper price is definitely correct. The online shop overcharged.big bad bri wrote:Can anyone who owns a cooy definetly confirm the cover price £3.99 or £5.49.
Never heard of him!

Whiskery Dick No. 332 23/11/46 - No. 370 (29/3/48) and some one off strips in 1950/51Digifiend wrote:Never heard of him!

Should have put 1948 for its last fortnightly appearance post edited accordingly....Digifiend wrote: Thanks, but those issue numbers don't look right. The Dandy was still fortnightly at that time (weekly publication resumed in 1949), and even if it was weekly, 29/3/1947 would be issue 350. That date is actually issue 341.
If it did only last four months, that explains why I've not encountered it before - Ken definitely picked an obscure one!
It's not actually published until tomorrow, only subscription copies have been sent out, as usual, a few days early. So don't panic yet, it's not in any shops. Don't even panic if it's not out on Tuesday.Ordered copies by mail are being sent out today so they won't arrive until Tuesday or Wednesday.booksandcomics wrote:So I may be a bit mad doing this, but, I thought I'd take a long shot as my copy of the final Dandy still has not arrived....
I don't think so, Digifiend. I think the DCT shop price includes postage and handling.
