Having said that, issue 852 of
The Wizard (April 1 1939) changed hands on eBay tonight for £19.60. Mind you, the advert on the back page for an issue of
The Beano might just have had some influence on that outcome.

Can't find any uk comics in the charity shops lately and so I just intended to keep spending to a minimum and pick up two U.S. comics I had had in mind from last weeks charity shop visit.However today they had added some new stock giving me more choice of buys.I got--------
BLUE RIBBON COMICS 1983,THE FLY STORIES-----------------------£1
CHARLTON COMICS 1984, GHOST MANOR----------------------------£1
DC SCIENCE FICTION TIME WARP 1980 doomsday tales 68pages-----£1
CHARLTON COMICS, FUNNY ANIMALS FIRST ISSUE 1984-------------£1
CHARLTON COMICS ZOO FUNNIES 1984------------------------------£1
Although the animal comics are for young readers it's the cover art that sold them to me and they are a change from the more serious comics.
It's strange U.K. comics are not finding their way into the charity shops and with the carboot season being over that gives less options for coming across them.

I'm really quite surprised by this information, comixminx, because I have been assuming that you already had the full run.
How many more issues do you need?

I've still got a few that I need, annoyingly. About 15 or 20 in total I think?

I've got a few of the Fleetway Colourbacks. An interesting series with lovely covers, but unfortunately the interiors are text only.

just got these two today.
Whoopee! comic - (12th October 1974)
1st issue with Shiver & Shake joining Whoopee. includes a nice advert for Whizzer & Chips comic with the black bat free gift.
The other is a Knockout comic (25th September 1971) - never had one so since it had the Joker & Fuzz Pot thought it was worth getting.
