Comics UK

I use the similar app from the same company, for dvds, blurays etc, & it's a godsend. As for comics, I use Microsoft excel , & i have the files saved on my networked hard drive, so when i'm at a boot sale, charity shop, etc, i can easily just download the updated file & check the list for issues i'm...

Hi Brian,
I'd be interested in any summer holiday specials that aren't already sold (depending on the price, of course).

Sorry, you're right there, 29th Dec 1979. Not sure how i could've got it wrong really, Excel should have predicted it, as i'd set it to work out every date as being 7 days after the previous one, (allowing for missing issues).

Hi Matt, For 1971, you have 48 issues on the main decades page, but only 46 are listed, plus the one which is un-highlighted in July, making 47. December 30th 1979 is missing from your list You have 2 hiatuses from 12th January to 16th February and 10th May to 14th June (all 1980), but those 4 issue...

I'm sure someone would have done. OCD still existed back then, just had a different name.

It's an easy mistake to make, & they probably weren't expecting anyone to be scrutinizing it 30 years later. They probably just counted 500 weeks from the first week, & either forgot about the missing weeks, or chose to ignore it.

I have the same for W&C, but can't say for ROTR, as i was never interested in football or war based comics, only the humour comics.

I have the issue from 17th December 1983 being the 500th issue of 567, ending on 30th March 1985. The following week, Whoopee was squeezed into Whizzer & Chips.

Of course, i may be wrong, but i'm 99% sure it's accurate.

It's probably because of the 4 double issues. I don't know if they're actually labelled as double issues (i know there was a Whizzer & Chips that had 2 dates on it, & was labelled as a double issue). If an issue has 2 dates on it's cover, it's feasible that both dates were counted.

Nice one, saves me a job.

Thanks klakadak, it's good to know that between us we got there.

a double issue is one comic one issue.I think only one double issue in 94 and i think the other was the last one of 93 carrying over into 1st week of 94 so i have that as 1 less issue in 93 with both years only having 51 issues. Sorry, that's what i meant, didn't quite explain it to make sense. It ...

Well, I didn't buy them when they first came out, but I only need 6 more issues to complete the set... So when you get the remaining six, KP, as you are confident that you will then have the full run, counting a double issue as two issues how many issues will you have? Your answer should put the ma...

I think I missed one mini comic out! Yeah, there would've been 4 Cheeky mini-comics in the other 4 titles, plus 4 other mini-comics in the 4 issues of Cheeky. Looks like you're missing the Cheeky mini-comic from W&C 22nd July 1978, I'll have a look when i get home from work at the weekend, & will s...

My list differs to yours on 1971, 1980 & 1994 - i have the first 5 weeks of 1971 as having no issues, making 47 for the rest of the year. For 1980, i have 4 issues missing between 19th Jan - 9th Feb inclusive, plus another 4 between 15th May - 7th June inclusive, making 44 in 1980. In 1994, the 16th...
