The new Battle Of Britain Special from Rebellion. Rat Pack as nasty as ever, balanced by a short story that left me a bit misty-eyed, and I've still lots to read. In the shops later this week. 100 pages.

I’m looking forward to mine arriving.

As an infant my first comic collection, consisting only of Pippin and Playland, was thrown away by my mother. I’ve always meant to go back and reacquire those very early 1970s issues. Now the first few dozen are due to roll in, so I can relive the delights of The Moonbeans, The Herbs and Mary Mungo...

Completed my Alan Class Super Mouse collection this afternoon with the hard to find No.2. Thank you eBay!

They’re both really tough to get. I picked up my #2 this year too.

If I’ve worked this out properly, here are Zap 0 & 1

Thanks for that, I’ve never seen them before!

At last after a fair bit of searching I’ve acquired the late sixties British versions of Zap Comix issues 0 & 1.

Doug - what was even stranger was that Dracula bowed out fairly early on post merger while the cover continued with “and Dracula Lives” for months afterwards.

I remember that. They probably forgot he was still on the masthead!

Dracula Lives No.87 (1976) - the final issue prior to its merger with Planet of the Apes the following week. The announcement is saved up for the penultimate page. It all seems quite abrupt as Dracula and Man Thing commence new issue reprints that issue, so POTA readers start half way through. Odd....

Great haul!

Ordered mine too. How many were produced?

Without checking, didn’t Vulcan have a skeleton free gift? I seem to picture that it was the Scottish version as I have the UK set and gifts. If it’s from that comic, it would be worth considerably more than being from Monster Fun!

Wow! Brilliant deals for both of you!
