Here's an example of Antonio's British work from the 1961 Harold Hare Annual.abacus wrote:...real name Antonio Lupatella(italian) the name probably being a literal translation to english Antonio(Tony) Lupatella (wolf, lupine).According to online sources he worked U.K. comics JACK AND JILL, PLAYHOUR , and some Sooty annuals.
A fine artist.
Don't think so Paw here's pic.I usually buy complete stories only.paw broon wrote:Adding to philcom's lovely post, here's the info. available on Lambiek:-

Also, if the Airboy is one of the reprint books, you're in for a treat because there's probably some tasty Fred Kida art in there. And, if the Crimson Avenger is part of the 4 issue mini series, I have it and it's a nice read.
Actually this Crimson Avenger is a 4 part mini series I just saw fin at the end and assumed it was a one off, still I will be able to see how it concludespaw broon wrote:Sorry, not the books I was thinking of
When searching through the comic boxes I check for the endings and don't always get it right trying to avoid part works.There were a few AIRBOY comics that I passed up because they were part of a series and unfortunately the one I picked up today seems to be in the middle of a series the other comics I bought are ok.

And four Beau Peep books from another!

There was one but it was just too over-priced to be VFM. And that was after checking out six different charity shops!I bought half a dozen bookcases a few years ago and I just searched on Ebay every week for people selling them within a 10 mile radius of me. It took 3 months or so but I picked up some real bargains such as £1.44 for a 4" x 4" solid wood case that matched an existing one! You need the vehicle to pick them up though.colcool007 wrote:We have no bookcases today!Adam Eterno wrote:Were there no bookcases or did the comics distract you from your search!?colcool007 wrote:I have been trawling the charity shops as I need bookcases.

I've been checking Facebay, Ebay and Gumtree since Christmas. I have picked up a couple of freebies but others I have had to pay for. We started just before Christmas and we have picked up 6 tall ones and one waist height since then. However, we still need a load more before we have enough bookcases for all the books and comics!Adam Eterno wrote:I bought half a dozen bookcases a few years ago and I just searched on Ebay every week for people selling them within a 10 mile radius of me.

Yup thats the stuff I dropped off to that shop in Dunfermline (except the Beau Peep books). glad a collector got them. The Diamond Catalogue was a great book. You must have missed out on the large pile of american comics I dropped off a week or so before. I had dropped off a large pile of Buster comics a few weeks before that. Was going to drop off my collection of Whizzer & Chips & Whoopee comics (as I'm moving house) but I came to my senses. thankfully!colcool007 wrote:I have been trawling the charity shops as I need bookcases.
