Re: Victor or Rover and Wizard story

Hi Don,
That is exactly what it was I think. There was a whole series of one page picture features devoted to English and Scottish football club histories. If so, certainly Rover, not Victor.

Re: Complete Collections

Wow! I full run of Beano must only exist elsewhere in the British Library! Full runs of the Big 5 must also be few and far between, let alone the AP titles. I’m only one short of all of the Oldham’s titles myself, so I know how hard they can be to find. Thank you for sharing info on such an amazing...

Although I do also have all of Thomsons comic titles sinc...

Re: Max Miller

Hi Hawkeye, Definitely George Wakefield and then his son Terry Wakefield, after the formers death in 1942. Terry's style was very imitative of his father's and he often filled in for his dad even before his death. Between them the two Wakefields were very much the most familiar artistic face of Film...

Re: What comics DIDN'T you buy today?
