Funnily enough Paw CB+ doesn't work on my samsung tablet all I get is the cover page and when I tap next I then just get some printed comic information whereas it works perfectly on my house computer.If I want to read CB+comics on the galaxy I have to go over to Digital comic museum.That is an alternative if any other forum members have the same problem.paw broon wrote:
By the way, many Blackhawk stories were drawn by Reed Crandall, and I have to say, they are rather tasty to look at. Give them a go.
Try this one.

What comics did you buy today?

Re: What comics did you buy today?
OOOOOOH-errr, abacus. Shurely shome mishtake! 
I read CB+ comics using my Samsung tablet, but I download the files first and once on my tablet, I read them with perfect viewer, probably the best of the comic reader apps. What are you using as a reader? Or are you simply reading on the CB+ page's viewer?
Let me know and I'll pass the problem onto Mark. We need to make sure everyone can view the files, no matter what they are using.
You're right to mention DCM, which is an excellent, well run site and both sites collaborate in keeping these important comics alive. Have you donated to DCM and had their free access to ftp downloads? Actually, the offer might be finished by now, but worth checking.

Re: What comics did you buy today?
Putting on my thinking cap which only just fits after so little use. 
It could just be my tab then.
A few years ago I accidentally wiped or blanked the tab and had it sent out for reprogramming, but then again if it works on D.C.M.and not on CB+ the two systems must work in a different way.
Also with the antivirus I think the tablet is more app friendly than browser friendly.
I do have a comic reader for downloads only.
Comic book plus and Digital comic museum can also be found (enter either one and click search then click publishers tab)using the app ISSUU(a nightmare having to scroll through all the comics though as they are not categorized ), there is also the app FREE COMICS (placeholdevs labs)which has hundreds of the same comics to download.On this app for finding UK comics type in (Uk comic books) rather than specific comic name.
Well that's enough of the thinking cap my head hurts.

Re: What comics did you buy today?
This is on Amazon for the princely sum of one shiny new penny, so I thought it would be churlish not to buy another reference book. There are another 3 at the one penny price and a fourth at tuppence!abacus wrote:Win some , lose some.
At today's carboot some chap had beat me to a bunch of comics and I watched as he picked out all the best ones and hoping that he would leave something worth buying for me but no such luck.
Moving on to another stall I managed to pick up this item for a £1, I hadn't heard of this recently printed book before but I expect it is familiar to forum members.
and some inside pages
I started to say something sensible but my parents took over my brain!

Discovering Comics is a nice little book. I used to borrow that from the library when I was a teenager. I have my own copy now though, with a different cover to the one shown so there must be two editions.

There's some great books for such cheap prices. Some great Fathers Day pressies here!Lew Stringer wrote:

Re: What comics did you buy today?
Interesting to see that another dealer is selling a 'new' copy of Gifford's Encyclopedia of Comic Characters for £497.65!

Re: What comics did you buy today?
There's a place local to me that has a copy going for a fiver. Maybe I should buy it, put it on Ebay and undercut him at £400!Adam Eterno wrote:philcom55 wrote:Interesting to see that another dealer is selling a 'new' copy of Gifford's Encyclopedia of Comic Characters for £497.65!

Re: What comics did you buy today?
If we take into account the way this word is pronounced, surely the spelling would have to be prezzies, either with two 'z's, or just the one if you like as that will not change the pronunciation. Please excuse this brief return to my pedantic past.Adam Eterno wrote:pressies
Re: What comics did you buy today?
It hasn't flagged up on eBay tonight. Either some idiot has bought it or the seller has been sensibly advised to withdraw it.philcom55 wrote:Interesting to see that another dealer is selling a 'new' copy of Gifford's Encyclopedia of Comic Characters for £497.65!
