Comics UK

Just thought I would add this topic to discuss any Australian comics. I know some have been discussed on other topics and I have researched a little on the net, but always good to obtain fresh views. In particular 'The Phantom' spin off comics from Frew, 'The Raven', 'The Panther', 'Sir Falcon', etc...

No worries Paw, glad to help now and again! Ok, I have found out who the artist is for the scan on top of the covers, and the top scan of the three interiors, it was Enrique Nieto. How do I know that? They are signed! How did I miss them? Have you ever bought a car then noticed the same car all the ...

The scan below is from 'The Bat'. Just for the record and on closer observation, issues 1 and 2 were published by Alex White & co Ltd, James st, London. Then from issue three the publisher was Top Sellers. The first twenty six issues were printed in Italy after that from issue twenty seven they were...

More Chiller interiors.

Artists anyone?

Just having a look at the 'Pocket Chiller library' comics again they really do have some nice covers and interior art, so thought some may like to see a few examples. I know Paw and other members have some but for those that have not. The scans don't really do them justice, but the interiors really ...

Picked up some nice libraries being 'Top Secret' 1 with the cool roller coaster cover, plus a 'Lion' 'Captain Condor The Frightened Planet' which I guess is a reprint but nice story, plus a 'Chiller pocket Library' 'The Colby Curse'. Just a couple of questions were the Top Secret stories reprints? A...

I was never sold on a cover; I always bought on what I knew. If a new comic came out, I would buy it regardless of the cover. If the interior lacked in substance, I would soon drop it. Never judge a book by its cover, is the old adage. Of course, for a casual reader, the front cover may prove impor...

Thanks. I get that. Also have a run of 'Swift Sure' which I guess was an indie? They also has some nice covers which I'm sure you remember well!

Just bumping this up with one for the underdogs! As we have seen on the Fanzines thread there are a lot of nice covers so thought maybe a couple deserve to be on here. This one by Garry Leach, John Higgins (colour) is a nice example, obviously it helps having a popular character on there drawing at...

Thanks for posting that Norman. I have only scratched the surface (as time is a factor) but what a wealth of information, especially for anyone who is researching American comics, and I guess the effect they had on comics around the world. The Senate report in 1955 was worth it alone. As per the Ama...

Good to see those examples, especially that Talbot cover. I have a run of 'Heart of the Empire', as well 'Brainstorm', 'Mixed Bunch', and 'Amazing Rock and Roll', with 'Luther Arkwright', and 'The Omega Report', great stuff. Dennis Gifford did a good editorial in 'Brainstorm' as well. Just one more ...

I have only just seen this about L.B.Cole. Thanks for the link Paw those covers of his are fantastic. Especially the 'Blue Bolt' covers, I did not know he did those. I have a few comics from the golden era, and coincidently have a 'Blue Bolt' that I purchased a few weeks ago but it is coverless!! I ...

Which comic did your Lion And The Unicorn scan come from?

That is from 'Princess', can't give exact date as don't have it anymore. It is probably a reprint from 'Girl' with a different heading (although I'm not a hundred on that) which they did quite a lot. I think the year is 1966 .

Yes it is Phil, 'Out and about with Uncle Ben' he started it in mid Sept 61, until mid Jan 62, when Tamblyn Watts took over. I do not have that issue either.
