Theoretically, Issue 4 would be 8D 1, and 10th Doctor Year 2 1 and 2. The Tenth Doctor would go down to one a month once the Ninth Doctor's ongoing starts. They should never totally catch up, as there's 15 issues for each Doctor in the comic shop editions, and 13 a year for the newsstand editions. That's probably why 12D 11 got skipped over - they can always run it as filler later, if they catch up on the 11th Doctor's stories and so can't double him up in an issue.

The twelfth Doctor ran to 16 issues, with No.16 being the Christmas issue.

16 was basically a one-off - it was released before 15 and was reprinted almost immediately in Tales from the Tardis instead of five months later in DWC. It also didn't have the usual creative team. Anyway, I was generalising - Tenth and Eleventh were 15 issues as I said.

As a collector these are not the sort of things I am seeking but priced at 20p each I decided I might as well buy them..(I will have to be more disciplined next time I see books that are cheap )

DANDY ANNUAL 1997
GIRLS CRYSTAL ANNUAL 1959
60years BEANO and DANDY SIDE BY SIDE
JUDY ANNUAL 1976
DOUGAL'S ANNUAL 1971

(Hope there's room to store them.

I just received:

Commando 2725 - Gladiator Challenge
Commando 2774 - Space Watch
Commando 4499 - Hunting Mussolini
Commando 4595 - The Killing Cage

As I said in a thread in the Commando section, I have started collecting any Commandos related to science fiction in general or to its ongoing Convict Commandos series.

I got another 16 issues of Buster today only need another 35 from the 90's now to have a complete run from oct 77 until the end in 00.

Planet of the Apes #117, which completes its short run in 1977; still have another 40 odd issues to complete the full run, though. I'll get there, slowly but surely.

I have the set in NM condition but haven't read them for years but they are on my list to go through in 2016. One of my favourite comics at the time!

That's some achievement, nice one

The School Fun annual arrived yesterday, seems good from a quick look-over - stuff from Brian Walker and Jim Petrie (both of whom can seemingly do no wrong), Spy School's fun as well, and there's a few reprints from Krazy in there as well... Worth the penny I paid for it, anyway.

Also arrived yesterday: Issues 4, 6 and 7 of Scenes From The Inside, big fat small press anthology things from 1995...

Thanks for getting back about School Fun!

That's the one

I lose track with who comes from where with the IPC stuff... The only constant is "Buster is from Buster", the rest are all over the place!

Seeing the posts lately about the one and only school fun annual reminded me of another single annual i've been meaning to purchase for a few years now .but never gotten around to it was Nipper annual but i had 1987 in my wants list while it was 1988, but it is now on its way.

if i ever get around to a blog or website about buster ,whoopee etc my plan is on the page by page to include where the reprint was originally and the date etc but only from what i currently own,should be ok to do seeing as i only need 5 whooppee about 5 cheeky 100 whizzer and chips and own 1.241 issues of buster. don't know if it will come to fruition though as i have not been well lately.

Just recieved the compleat run of JET [1971]:


---I bought the odd copy of this first time around , and this is my first revisit for a whopping 45 years.........and it still looks great; the detailed, larger-scaled artwork is just the sort of stuff I still enjoy: I can't remember some of the adventure strips [the four sergeants?!] but I most certainly remember Von Hoffmans' Invasion, Kids from Stalag and Crazy Car Capers, amongst others.

There was a lot of truly odd stuff from IPC especially done during this period [similar artwork by the same artists and also-like imaginitive concepts also turn up in VALIANT from the same era], but I for one would not change a thing --the contemporary adverts are also equally priceless: Super Mousse!!

No regrets on this one: also contains great gags by Phil Millar, a whole weekly page of them every issue.

I was slightly too young for these when they first came out but I'm on the lookout for the set now as they look to be exactly what I enjoy. I saw the set (22 issues) go for £70 ish in November on Ebay and almost went for them but didn't. I'll keep a lookout this year!

I received some great bits for my birthday last week: the Albion Origins book, The best of Alf Tupper book, Johnny Red 2 & 3(I have #1) and The Action, story of a violent comic book. That should keep me busy!
