Hmmm, well I received the Fleetway files today. Great read.

But as I mentioned before, I’d take five. Still waiting on the missing four copies....

Actually I’ve got to say, you’ve really been producing some quality stuff through Hibernia - I’m very impressed. It’s one thing to publish reprints of old material but to put it together with an interesting read is a step up that not many people manage successfully.

Thanks for the kind words, glad people are enjoying it. I'm always a little apprehensive putting these out!
Bri, a compilation of these is something I do intend to do at some point.
Some of the information in these would not go well in a reprint, for instance the piece in 'It's Ghastly' about the 'Monster' collection, but the bulk of the material could be collected. I have another Comic Archive nearly finished (writing), 'Fantastic Adventures'.
