Comics UK

I use facebook but I rarely put on any photos of me and I rarely even mention what I am up to other than adding on old comics pages etc. There are no photos of me with my latest pint of beer or anything like that. I was in the boozer yesterday, and yes I am mentioning it here but only because we are...

Hiya Col I appreciate what you are saying here about the benefits of social media for communicating with field specialists. However I have definitely encountered forums in particular which reveal even [some, by no means all] recognized 'experts' to be anti-social, selfish people who are prone to act...

Great subject for a topic. I agree with Lew a lot of it seems to be just ignorance and to me it is downright snobbery in some cases. Also , a lot of people lose their silly sense of mischied as they age, unlike us folks on here , we still enjoy childhood stuff like comics , we just have a more 'scho...

Probably a genuine printing mistake, Pu, this sort of thing did crop up on occassion --I remember seeing a DANDY Comic Library that came out like this and yes it was pretty rare: it is along the same lines as somebody working in a milk bottling plant and putting the wrong labels on a specific brand ...

Wow!

Sex appeal really DID exist in the 50s!

I found the 60s Batwoman/ Catwoman in the USA Batman comics very sexy as a kid in a way you just hardly ever saw if at all in the UK stuff at that time.

Very droll my good man--very droll

Me and Alan have never actually met despite our surnames and shared I Spy fervour.

Our relationship is purely centred around Sparky comic and it ends there!

The original comic in its raw stat...

Sorry I just noticed Phoenixs' reply about why would I re-buy material I already have? I have all the I SPY material I desire in good condition Phoenix and it is well looked after, I even move the comics when I am off on holiday in case of flooding, etc. However! I keep meaning to scan every page of...

Thanks, Phil!

Starblazer artists are not exactly my forte.

The first frame is Talbot-esque Minx but I do not really think it is him, just a wee bit similar---maybe the black ink backing.

There is also a tendency to 'zip' through the material on a disc too quickly---a real comic is more likely to be savoured in comparison. Real paper comics is the way to go for the serious comic buff. I regard myself as a fairly keen comics fan [not as obsessive as some I have encountered] and I find...

As I have said before on here Paw, I would pay 50 quid or more for a quality reprint book of I SPY [the black-and-white pages] even although I have decent copies of the original comics. I will be surprized if I ever see it though: just too risky a venture for a serious publisher looking to stay in b...

Sorry Starscape--I dip in and out of the consumer society as well as take a look at what is happening in the wider world. I am just as much 'into' mass consumerism as anyone else on here, and comics is one of the interests I still follow. Lew : I will look into the Rebellion reprints for example I w...

The 60s Sutherland Bash Street was pretty much on par with the Baxendale, Sue

Come the 70s the artwork on the strip simplified noticably due to Mr Sutherlands increased workload.
