What comics did you buy today?

[Hawkeye]

At last I've managed to get Wizard 1185 from 1948, completing the 17 part William Wilson story 'The Black Olympic Games'.
Also, a few weeks ago I got the 'Remarkable Scientific Novelty' free gift from Modern Boy comic no 315 (1934), which was the 'Direction Finder and Time Indicator'. Got the comic it came with today. Back together again after 87 years !!

You could put them on a spreadsheet(s) if that is something you could do.

Went to the local market and found a nice supply of Commandos. Picked up 9 that were gap fillers and 3 that were obvious upgrades to my current issues. I will be visiting that market again!

Picked up a handful of 1950s copies of the Manchester Evening News from a local market stall, including some unreprinted episodes of Ken Reid's legendary Fudge strip. Interesting to see that they also carried the American 'Space Cadet' strip for a time.

lists not updated every day at 30th century - so, worth dropping them an e-mail if you're making a special trip to see them

I wasn't aware they hadn't completed Charley. (I only bought the first couple of books as I had the rest I'd cut out from Battle.) I believe Titan still have the license to reprint Battle strips at present so they could complete it. Perhaps the previous books didn't sell well enough?

It's ok. No one would get the chance to buy my mutilated copies. I used the remnants to light the fire.

Pat Mills concluded Charley's adventures in WW1, then Scott Goodall took over to write the sequel, set in WW2. Pat would have written it, but IPC wouldn't give him the budget he needed to research it properly so he quit.

Sadly, due to Joe Colquhoun's increasing frail health, the WW2 series never concluded properly and went into flashback (shown as reprints of the first series). Unfortunately, Joe died so the story never returned to the new stories. It wouldn't have been the same with a different artist, so kudos to the editor for respecting that and not replacing Joe.

Went to Deptford market this morning. There was an empty police van outside Manzes pie and mash shop and, inside, were four uniformed cops enjoying our local delicacy. In the market I picked up a Temple Houston Annual from 1965 and a Laramie Annual from 1963 with strips and text stories - all illustrated by John Burns. The text stories have an illustration on every page, superb. Its is in very good condition except the edge of the cover is rubbed. I also got a Charles Buchan's Soccer Gift Book 1967/68. All three were a pound each. My best buy was a Styx Weekend Fun Book no. 7. 84 pages of gag cartoons by Styx reprinted from Weekend magazine. That was a pound and I got a VHS tape of four 1962 Coronation Street episodes for 50p. I have a vhs player so no problem. I almost forgot I also got a very nice copy of She women's magazine from June 1967 for a pound.
