About 10. UK online comics fandom isn't very big.

That's the one! That's the one! That's the one In remember as my all-time favourite! Good grief. And it wasn't even in the comic or by Baxendale. I remember really wanting that annual... ah the nostalgia... Thanks for the information, that's really valuable. I'll add it to the web site.Toonpooch wrote:1978

Thanks! That's a really improtant exampel - I wondered whehn I saw it, but this proves it. This is the first appearance of Steve Ford, Buytonic Boy, as starred in Krazy comic! Krazy was the second comic I bought regularly (Cheeky was the third - my best friend and I had Cheeky sweaters specially knitted!) ah the memories.philcom55 wrote:I just dug up an example of a non-Baxendale story (I think it's probably Terry Bave, but I'm not all that familiar with his style. No doubt Lew will be able to do a more definite ID).
I'll add a link to my site. Thanks!Peter Gray wrote:http://uk.geocities.com/pjgleobax/

Thanks for the info! It's much appreciated.Kashgar wrote:Hi Tol, The BBB in No24 should have read 'Dick Twerpin' and not 'Moby Duck'. Sorry about the confusion. No11 'I Spy' was the first non Baxendale to be published.
The only Terry Bave issue in the run was No30 Dick Twittington which, if memory serves as I haven't got the issue in front of me, was signed at the foot of the title page.

I forgot to mention the MF annual is in almost new condition with just a crossword completed in biro. I weighed the item and second class postage is 75p. It has your favourite Badtime Bedtime story in it so can't be bad.
