Abyss; first have to say how envious I am over your Dandy collection.

I take it that you aiming to collect the full run of The Dandy?

And if so, what years do you have?

Sorry if you have already been asked this.

For me, 2000AD No.1 was just about perfect. However my favourite was my introduction to Marvel with Avengers No.1. I read it again and again until the cover came off - and the next issue was even better. The interior, yes. But terrible front cover and boring free gift. Issues 2 and 3 were much bett...

As a boy, I was never interested in girls comics.

However, thanks to Rebellion, I have become a fan of their stories that have a supernatural/horror theme.

I know a few of their comics from both IPC and DCT featured such stories but the ones that stand out to me are:

Misty
Spellbound

Are there any girls comics that you would consider reading/collecting (if you are not already)?

A very belated welcome, Jim.

I used to live in Kent so virtually an ex-neighbour.

For me, Look-In was one of those strange comics, which I did get sporadically at the time, in that I didn't really like it but I loved some of its strips including those that you have mentioned.

Also ended up with the first issue of "the crunch" which I don't really want if anyone's interested?

What!!? The Crunch is a great comic. Put up your dukes.

Some quite dark stories in Tammy. and No Time for Pat in the Jinty Annual.

I suppose maybe why that it was a good fit when Misty was merged with it (Tammy) in the end.

Funnily enough, I found a Misty comic in some comics bought the other day and was suprise to see some good supernatural stories. Was expecting fluffy bunnies and rainbows not vampire rabbits with huge fangs, lol. :lol: Misty , like Spellbound , were two girls' comics that had their roots in the sup...

I did enjoy Warlord for the medals. Myself and my grandfather really bonded over that. Of course the members of Thomsons' recycling department were never backward in coming forward whenever they sensed an appropriate opportunity, Starscape. The free gift below was issued with The Wizard 899 (Feb. 2...

True, Isslord but these are different times and kids of today have other interests which has, for most, pushed comics into the background. Beano is different from when I got it but I chalk it up to its versatility for survival by adapting its style for the modern audience. I know I shouldn't say th...

Countdown/TV Action was one of those that I missed as a kid. Even though I was watching the likes of Doctor Who and Star Trek around that time too.

I only ever subscribed to one actual American comic - MAD . However, there were the days were you could buy Marvel and DC full color imports at your local newsagents and for a time i was heavily into them. However, being a Spidey fan, I loved The Amazing Spider-Man , especially the issue which intro...

Hmmm. Just seen the new TGJones logo. Where have I seen that look before? :roll: If that is the logo they are adopting, then it's not particularly imaginative is it? They have even gotten rid of the spaces in the name just like WHSmith . Talk about trying to be WHSmith without being WHSmith . I wond...
