Replaced a couple of issues of Whizzer and Chips last night and this morning (15/4/1978 and 13/10 1979 issues, the latter being the 10th anniversary issue, and the former being the issue before Krazy merged)

There aren't many comics in the antique market. The lady I go to sells all sorts of ephemera with just a few comics, mostly 80s. It's quite a small market and the lady in question has pink hair so hard to miss. Her stall is on the outer edge. Another lady has some fifties and sixties Beanos and Dandys but a but pricey.

Nice. I have number 1 with the poster and I think I have a spare #2 poster somewhere. I find those magazines much more interesting now than I did as a kid! I also liked Once Upon a Time
