Bought two copies of the "Fantasy Unlimited Catalogue" which I guess was the catalogue of a comic shop in N1, London: but can't find any info on it online. Does anyone know more about the shop, or even have a picture of it?
Re: What comics did you buy today?
Bought two issues of Valiant (24/10 and 31/10/1964 issues)
(Update: 24/9/21018) also preordered the Christmas issue of Beano from NewsStand)

Fantasy Unlimited started off as sales list for dealer Alan Austin, becoming an excellent comics fanzine which was eventually retitled Comics Unlimited, running for many years in the seventies.
There's a lovely tribute to him at https://30thcenturycomics.co.uk/alan-austin/

I am going to put my purchases over on the mart thread.
I started to say something sensible but my parents took over my brain!
