Thank you.

I was very pleased to win a copy of The Beano issue 1,000 on EBay yesterday, which I've hankered after for a number of years. Could somebody please clarify, is the cover by Dudley Watkins?

Thanks!

It's a couple of decades since I read the stories, but from memory Eagle reprinted all weekly episodes. I do recall that some of the language and artwork was censored.

This afternoon I won two October 1967 issues of Tiger from EBay.

They have filled a gap so that I have a run of 1033 issues from 24.04.1965 through to the final issue, 30.03.1985.

Very happy!

Ordered!

I'm off now to dig out my old Scream issues over the Halloween weekend in anticipation...

Apologies if this has been discussed previously, would anybody be able to satisfy my curiosity and tell me which UK comic strip/story featured in the greatest number of titles? I’m thinking of a strip that either merged or moved title without a break in narrative or continuing as reprinted strips (I...

Phoenix, Thanks for sharing the issue cover scans. I have the 25th November issue but not the Christmas issue which I've not seen before. Including the Hot Shot Hamish cover (and in colour) was a nice touch. Confirmation of the printers strike explains why the Skid Solo strip (and possibly others) c...

Hi Westy, As you say you have most issues of Tiger from the '70s, I wonder if you might be able to help me with something I've been wondering about for years. When I was very little I remember being both quite spooked and intrigued by a serial from the back of Tiger, I think, which featured some sc...

Hi Sid, Speed was the first 'boy's adventure' comic that I read regularly. My Dad started me off with issue 2 and a few weeks later surprised me with a 'new' copy of issue 1, possibly bought direct from IPC. Imagine my delight when our dog completely shredded it later on... Death Wish was my favouri...

Welcome to the boards Westy and a nice opening question. As a guide, here is the information I have on my Tiger spreadsheet. Issue #78 was 'double-dated' 3rd March 1956 to 14th April 1956. Which was effectively six issues in one. Issue #238 (9th May 1959) was the last numbered issue. Issues #244 an...

Why stop there? In my opinion the issues published from about 1959 to 1965 were the best of the lot! - Phil Rushton Hi Phil, I know little about Tiger's early years except that it includes Roy of the Rovers, whereas the mid 60's have Johnny Cougar and Skid Solo, two characters with whom I'm familia...

I’ve recently re-commenced collecting issues of Tiger after a brief pause of 20 years. To date I’ve collected the majority of issues from the 1970’s and 1980’s and am aiming to work my way back to the merger with Hurricane in May 1965. One thing that I’m trying to confirm is the total number of publ...
