I must admit, for quite a few years all I bought were Beano and Dandy annuals and comics, but it got to the stage where all the ones I wanted cost far too much. Luckily I discovered the delights of 'The Big Five', which were much more reasonably priced.

Today bought myself a Christmas Dandy comic No.108 from the 23rd of December 1939. Pics to follow a.s.a.p.

What's the earliest Dandy/Beano comic you have?

I found an old post on here from 2017 koollectablz » Thu Jan 12, 2017 12:05 am In the 70s/80s I used to go to jumble sales a lot (scouring for Rupert stuff) - at one I happened to pick up a couple of nicely produced 'funny animal' comics with thick card covers.

Haven't got any for sale/swap, but I have seen a black and white picture of the second Fun Book For Boys somewhere, and I also have been looking for it for quite a few years. The title Three-Men-In-A-Tub is correct, and I can confirm that at least the first Adventure Land annual did originally have ...

Please remember, a Christmas comic is for life, not just for Christmas.

Just got the first Triumph annual today, from 1937. I've been looking for them for years and only managed to get the 1939 one previously. They hardly ever come up for sale anywhere. There's only 5 in the set, and the 1940 one seems to be so scarce that we haven't got a picture of the cover in our ga...

Hi Hawkeye,

I noticed that Peakirk Books, based in Fakenham in Norfolk info@peakirkbooks.com Tel 01328 829944, have the issue you are looking for on sale for £10. Boys Own Paper Vol 63 No 8 May 1941. Hope this helps.
