Comics UK

I have discovered that a Lot of charity shops (at least around here) chuck out any donated annuals if they have the slightest spine defect and don't accept comics at all!

A couple of shops are now nice enough to let me know if they have that kind of thing!

Agreed, what a nice cover.

I forgot about 2000ad! - yep they are crazy common!

Yep, iw would be gutted as well missing out on a box of Tv21!

So I've been collecting comics and annuals seriously for a year and a half now. I don't buy online (no fun there!) so my purchases are limited to car boots, charity shops, 'junk' shops and what people have brought to me (I have a shop as well) I was just struck by how common some things are and how ...

Lovely stuff!

Also very nice!

Incidentally, I've noticed that (mine at least) the 1949 beano is a different size to the more or less a4 of other beanos.

Which got me looking for a list of all the different sizes beanos have been over the years - canny find anything.

Anyone have such a list?

5 Beanos today from 1949 to 1952
1950's Rover, Adventure and Hotspur
And a 1949 Champion.

A happy lad!

They are very nice comics. Can't believe how few pages they had then (12!!)

Two 1952 beanos today (nice condition)

And the beano book for 1958 and Dandy for 1953 (neither in very nice condition at all!)

Paid very little so I'm delighted!

A bit of a stretch on the comics front I know

Ended up with this very old DC Thomson annual, but can't find a firm date anywhere (one source says 1924 and another 1931.

Just wondered if anyone on here knows?

Thanks!

I always get the Oor wullie /broons book and the hardback best of.

Eep I have a lot of work tae do.

Only complete sets I have are -

The Eighties American Doctor who comic book (23 issues) -

And the nineties reprints - Doctor who classic comics (27 issues)

I don't particularly like doctor who any more.!

Cheers! - yep very good condition for the age
Particularly like the "Budgie Malone" comic, the more obscure the better!

Fun and quirky bunch of comics picked up at Tayport car boot this morning.

I've never comic across numbers that low nowadays. I suppose collectors hang on to the early ones
