Re: What comics did you buy today?
A 50p pick up of Avengers Weekly No.8 (1973) that immediately sent me back to being 8 years old again. The first issue was my introduction to Marvel and each issue offered a tantalising glimpse of other comics and characters that I just had to know more about.

Nice purchase Shiner. I have a similar memory whenever I see broadsheet Topper comics for sale on ebay. They remind me when in the early 1980s I visited my school summer fate with my family and buying bundles of comics for 10p each.Shiner wrote: 17 May 2026, 18:02 A 50p pick up of Avengers Weekly No.8 (1973) that immediately sent me back to being 8 years old again.

I collected the 147 issues of this fine magnificent marvel magazine a while back.
The 3rd ever Marvel UK publication, after MWOM and Spidey.

Just sourced after many moons searching, 37 Fast Forward magazines from 1989-90, in particular, two issues that I finally needed that contained Allo Allo art owned.

I bought a reprint book of Leo Baxendale's Mervyn's Monsters from the same guy who did the Power Pack of Ken Reid who used to post on this forum as klakadak-ploobadoof.
Not read it yet, but it looks good. I may put a mini review on here once ive finished it.

That would be Irmantas who lives in Lithuania and has spoilt us for years with high production values. Looking across the room, I have the collected Scream Inn on the shelf and his Beano 1950s volumes.
