Re: What comics did you buy today?

Managed to win a few Buster Summer Specials on ebay, got 74, 81, Buster & Monster Fun 81 & 83 and the one I'm most looking forward to is the first Buster from 69.

Re: What comics did you buy today?

Received a copy of School Fun Summer Special 1985 which now completes the run for me although it is slightly damaged so will try and upgrade in time.

Yeah they have all popped up in the last year since I have been looking except for number 10 & 29. I've logged into Ebay Australia and will keep an eye out there and hope to see 29 on there at some point.

Busters Comic Library #29

Until recently I was under the impression that Buster Comic Library number 29 was never released/printed but I've since discovered that it was printed but not sold in the UK. I've read that its been sold at a New Zealand auction a couple of times which has now set my radar going as aside from 29, I ...

Re: What comics did you buy today?

Bought some more Busters today. Am pleased because I have now completed 69, 73 & 74 so dont have many to go for the period 68-86. Also bought a couple of Cor from 1972.

I'm hoping ...

Re: Beginnings

My comic collecting started with issue #3 of Battle Picture Weekly back in 1975. Bought for me by my mum. I’d obviously seen and read comics prior to that (round my nan's), but never once did I think about actually buying any. I was only on 50p a week pocket money, which usually went on Buttersnap ...

Re: What comics did you buy today?

A number of Buster comics from 1968-1986 from 30th Century comics. Now only need about 42 from this period to complete. Also won a number of Cor collections on ebay yesterday. Decent value for over 100 comics.
