Back in the groove this week with 62 Commando comics of which I'm hoping at least a dozen or so will fill some gaps in the early 1000s I have as well as a few before #1000.

I am really looking forward to 111 issues of Bullet being delivered that I managed to get for only about 37p each. I will now be searching for the remaining 50 odd to get the set now. Yet another set I'll be aiming to complete!

Finally I picked up another Marvel All Colour Comic #1, this time Peter Parker , The Spectacular Spider-Man.

Got a batch of Commandos delivered that I bought in a private deal over the weekend. The seller even put in a freebie of Micron's issue 5 of Western Trail. Lovely stuff.

Went to Kingdom Comics (and Kirkcaldy) for the first time. Bought my first Korak - Son of Tarzan too. Not that I really wanted too but, to be honest, there wasn't much I fancied. Quite a lot of comics in the wrong place too which made finding things difficult.

Went to Lewisham yesterday and in The Works I came across a History of Spurs in comic strip form - full colour throughout. A hardback book. I thought it was drawn by Trevillion but it wasn't. It was only £2 and I will give it to my mate Steve who is a Spurs fan. They only had one copy left.

Coincidentally I picked up a handful of assorted war libraries at the weekend as well, including Commando #20, Picture Combat #96, four Pearson titles, Battlecry #10 & 11, Conflict Library #257, Pocket War Library #25 and War at Sea #13 - at prices ranging from 25p to £1. It really is astonishing how many different publishers jumped on the band-wagon!

I saw Air war Picture Stories and Club War Library comics on Ebay only yesterday. There must have been 20 - 30 odd different war digests at least.
