Comics UK

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...

A very large batch of early 2000ADs along with an eclectic mix of 1970s and 1990s comics. Bonus find was intact Monster Funs ranging from issue 1 to the last issue.

War Picture Library Battle of Britain arrived today. With Ian's art cleaned up and half up from the usual picture library size, I am looking forward to this treat!

Keep posting Nick. None of us may be replying, but I am enjoying the results of your detective work.

It's so nice to see original art without the header or any other branding on it.

The first one could be Joe Colquhoun. Please note that is a "could be" not a "definite".

Welcome from the Northern Celts. Hope you enjoy the forums.

Abyss, keep posting. It's rare that we swing any sort of thread killer in here as half the fun is seeing where a thread goes.

Oooh, original art. Let's see Abyss.

Oh and welcome to the fun house!

It reminds me of a wild west story where an eastern dude tries to impress some locals in a tough western saloon by showing them his Derringer. One of them says "If you shoot me with that thing, and I find out about it, there'll be trouble". All I have been able to think of all the way through this ...

That is an epic find George as those annuals are going for over £100 in the UK. I took delivery yesterday of a bit of a grail. Issues 1 to 69 of Spellbound and it does what is says on the tin as they kept me spellbound all last night. Unfortunately a couple will need to be replaced but that's better...

Check you two out, Next it'll be long slow walks along the beach.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I have cut my gaps to five in the Commando run. I weakened and bought the issue of 370 that has been on the Bay for a while.

I’ve just won on eBay the Publisher’s file copy of the last issue of Terrific, complete with all the information on who was paid what. I look forward to hearing you post about that when you get it Shiner. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I had a fair spread of deliveries arrive today. Let's go through...

Thoroughly enjoyed that. Feel free to post any more Sir-L.

The artist is Tony Harding and something is making me think 1980s. The copyright is D C Thomson 1985 so it's around about the right time for Spike, Buddy and Champ
