Now should I tell Richard about all the work John Stokes has done on the Football PSMs for D C Thomsons? Naw!

He was such a lovely guy to meet and yet there were only about 9 of us in the audience for the launch of 'Marney' - for shame!

I don't recall Starblazer or Football PSM as a child so I'm guessing the distribution didn't make it is as far south as Lahndan (as they say on EastEnders)

They were definitely available in London but, as was often the case with the pocket sized comics, distribution wasn't as plentiful as that of the weeklies.

I'm a sarf Londoner and bought the Football and Starblazer libraries when they were published. Perhaps their size made it difficult for newsagents to know where to display them.

Christmas these days is all about money, Steve, isn't it? At least it seems so to me. Just take as examples the two words from your recent post that I have quoted above. The rand is the currency of South Africa, the baht is the currency of Thailand.

Looks great. If only Reading wasn't outside London

Maybe I can convince my mate Steve to pop up there with me.
