I think there are 204 (maybe 205) issues of Cor!!, Bri. I had them all once but I threw most of them out in the late '70s. I kept about half a dozen.

I think there was 211 issues, but I don't know if they lost any issues as a result of industrial action.

wikipedia says 210 issues of cor was produced so i'm gonna have to do a bit of research

on the front section of this site we have a section for annuals and summer specials who's up for scanning all the covers of the weekly's then so we can have a definitive database.but i know it will be a lot of work:lol:

Count me out, Bri. Life's too short.

Bought this morning, Number 12 of Danger Mouse

Bri, check out the work on Comic Vine as they have a lot of covers on there.

Grand Comics Database says 211 issues. It gives dates and number but there are no breaks in the dates so they obviously do not allow for any industrial action. I bought Smash every week in the early seventies and can remember disruption to that title with possibly a date being amended here and there or a two week date on the cover.

130 of them - they're clearly missing some, unfortunately.

Blimey If the site is looking for cover scans I have hundreds of 2000AD and Eagle from Listing on online auction sites.

Just bought / buying a few Jintys to fill in my gaps for the years of 1975 and 1980, fingers crossed it all works out as expected!

You might as well put your cover scans onto the grand comics database. I've been putting them on for a few years and they add them very quickly. They have some complete runs of covers, ie Fantastic and Terrific. Comics uk gallery should be for first, last and notable issues otherwise Al will be overloaded with work. GCD email you almost straight away to confirm acceptance or point out an error and they happily accept guidance and corrections. They had their Tiger listing numbered throughout its run which meant I couldn't add issues as the comics themselves were not numbered. They quickly changed it to date format.

I know you weren't directing this to me but anyway... I've looked at the GCD before now but just took another look, with this as a prompt. Not sure I can face creating another userid and giving myself another task, as we are basically already doing that work on the Jinty blog but in a rather different way and differently formatted. Not wanting to put others off of course as I can see the value of it when done!
