Comics UK

In my area of Essex in the last number of years it’s been 2000ad the odd commando or war comic, just started to see British edition marvel reprints, lots of modern beanos . You often see modern American comics, which I mostly walk past unless there are some silver or Bronze Age dc comics . At boot s...

Just seen on eBay a first issue copy of the 1969 British comic Super DC with part of cover missing, loads of other cover faults and it looks like foxing on the paper for £100 or buy it now for £140 , I know some of the later issues are very hard to get of the 14 issue run I have been trying to get i...

EBay seems to be now the best place to obtain vintage uk comics, boot sales seem to only have 2000ad comics in my area. Not seen good vintage comics in the wild for years now, the new toy and comic shop a short walk from me has plenty of American comics but stocks second hand British edition reprint...

I got this week from Amazon the UFO comic anthology volume one , a cracking read it’s the UFO comic strips from Countdown and TV Action , I will be ordering volume two shortly, I missed out on the Fireball Xl5 anthology as that’s sold out and someone is trying for £399 on Amazon for a copy. It’s a s...

Just come back from the biggest boot sale I have been to for a couple of years not one British comic on the hundreds of stalls not even the bootie perennial comic 2000AD very lean pickings a couple of stalls selling modern Marvel and DC comics most £4/£5 each, too much for this old pensioners pocket...

I often wonder where charity shops get their prices from , one shop near me has Well read Spider-Man comics for £8 each to be honest 50p would be overpriced. And another shop has had a Star Trek eaglemoss graphic novel in the window for a few months at £5 you can see sun fade lines on it now. And do...

I had a dilemma once whether to buy a number of girls Candy comics from the late 1960s at my local boot sale. Anyway, I eventually bought them , think there were 12 issues? , for 45p each because they were part of a huge haul of comics, and what swung it was they all featured Lady Penelope from Ger...

I got the Captain Britain omnibus graphic novel which reprinted his Uk Marvel strip, plus 9 DC Graphic Novel in soft and hardback. Not what I call British books but will probably buy the new dalek books in the new year.plus I do have my eye on the Anderson reprints of the UFO & Fireball XL5 comic st...

If anyone is looking for a cheap read check out Poundland as some of the stores are selling the Eaglemoss DC & Batman graphic novel part works for £3 each, I know it’s not a UK comic but we all like a bargain and as each issue was about £12 each it’s a cheap read for the long cold winter months , I’...

Your lucky to still have boot sales still going in my area these stopped almost 2 months ago and will not start up again until Easter and that’s only if it’s good weather.

My comic buying and reading has changed several times in the past ten years or so I used to collect pocket library comics buying loads each month which ended up with 1000s of commando,war and battle comics many I never ended reading. I have spent many weeks sorting out my pocket library’s and are sl...

My son picked up for me the new Spectrum comic, not sure if it’s a one off or a regular comic, it’s American comic size and style with strips of Captain Scarlet, Terrahawks and space precinct. Nice cover artwork but not keen on the strips artwork or stories, it’s very much to me the style that’s com...

Picked up today the first two TV21 annuals in very nice condition no marks , scribble and super clean £1 the pair

There are 7 charity shops in my small town centre I can’t recall seeing any pre 80s annuals or comics for many years, all you see are the rubbish modern books about games and tv shows. Last year was the worst year at boot sales for comics and annuals. Being recently retired I have a budget for comic...
