Re: What comics did you buy today?
Picked up Victor Books 1972 and 1976 and Lion Anual 1967 in Deptford Market today for £4.50. Last week I got Bronco Layne Annual 1960, Lion Book of War Adventures 1962 and ATV Television Star Book 1962 for £5.00.

Re: What comics did you buy today?
A word about the Gangland comic I bought in the list above. I was attracted to the cover because it looked similar to the work Lawson Wood used to produce. I knew the cover bore no relation to the three stories inside so I just merely bought It because of the cover. https://i.imgur.com/iV8B3AR.jpg ...

Re: Kim comic
The Rusty Staples blog says:
"Kim
From: 24 April, 1982
To: 2 June, 1983
Duration: 1 year, 1 month
Issues: 59
A magazine aimed at young teenage girls… Contained photo-stories, but apparently more of a mag than a comic."
So some comic strip content, I suppose.

Re: Steve Larrabee in Rover
Steve Larrabee was a British fictional cowboy created to publicise Lone Star Company's cowboy toys. They hired an actor called Roy Green to play the role in publicity events then a BBC TV series and a radio series. I assume that DCT licensed the character for this story.

Re: What comics did you buy today?
The new Battle Of Britain Special from Rebellion. Rat Pack as nasty as ever, balanced by a short story that left me a bit misty-eyed, and I've still lots to read. In the shops later this week. 100 pages.

Re: British / American Comics in China
The last scan looks like the work of Walt Kelly, but badly traced. He did a lot of comic book work before creating Pogo. This might be from Fairy Tale Parade, which has a Facebook page at https://m.facebook.com/WaltKellysFairyT ... l&mt_nav=0. People there might know.
