A 50p pick up of Avengers Weekly No.8 (1973) that immediately sent me back to being 8 years old again. The first issue was my introduction to Marvel and each issue offered a tantalising glimpse of other comics and characters that I just had to know more about.

Nice purchase Shiner. I have a similar memory whenever I see broadsheet Topper comics for sale on ebay. They remind me when in the early 1980s I visited my school summer fate with my family and buying bundles of comics for 10p each.
Well, hello there! :wave:

A brilliant bargain !!!
I collected the 147 issues of this fine magnificent marvel magazine a while back.
The 3rd ever Marvel UK publication, after MWOM and Spidey.
