What comics did you buy today?

[Into The Abyss]

Bought myself another ABC Film Review magazine from 1972 promoting the first 'On The Buses' film starring Reg Varney. Pic asap.

I had Wonder Weekly #1, the Esso comic from 1968 delivered this morning. I’ve been after it for years, so very happy to finally get it in my collection.

I dropped out of the bidding on that before it got to a tenner - glad it's gone to a good home though!

I can’t remember seeing one for sale before, so I was pretty adamant I was getting this one. Lovely condition.

It ran for 52 issues I see and not one has yet been indexed on GCD.

All the issues I've found so far. There's a lot to go as I've never seen an issue higher than #25!

Brilliant collection Chalky...My maths is terrible but you must have about 14 years worth so 8 years left approx???

A 1966 June and SF from January 1966 arrived in post this week, complete with original gift of Jimmy Tarbuck's Book Of Stars with a selection of pictures not yet stuck in book. Cost a kidney but worth it. I've just 3 editions short of a J and SF set.

I did see and flick through another copy of that edition of June 29 January - during 2015, at a small exhibitions on girls' comics at Liverpool library. Unfortunately it wasn't for sale. There were a group of young girls there acting as Bunty's The Four Marys. My knowledge of comics impressed the organisers there.

The only other comics I've got with original gifts are 2 June and SFs from 1968 with cardboard horoscope charts with great artworks of two of its strip characters on the back. Both these helped complete my 1968 set.

I don't like Jimmy Tarbuck much though, but I'll ignore that fact for a piece of collectable media and social history.

Very nice items David.

Thanks jim244, not all years are complete runs but I do have all of 1969,1970, 1979-1981. I probably have just under 13 years worth. I still need 458 Busters to complete what I need which is just under 9 years worth of comics.
