Got myself some Dandy and Beano comics from the late 1940s. A Beano no.319 1947, Dandy comic no. 351 1947, and 410,413 from 1949. All in VG+ to VG- condition.

Absolutely love these !!
Thanks jim224.
lovely images of comic in lovely condition, I'm curious as to whether you're trying to complete a particular run of Beano / Dandy - maybe everything before 1950? Thanks!
Good question Richard S. To be honest It's never really crossed my mind if the comics I've bought, and there's about 300+ so far, would complete a run. I'll have to check?
They are very nice comics. Can't believe how few pages they had then (12!!)
Yeah, know what you mean. I find pre-war comics , well the ones I've got anyway , were magazine thick, and those later never really recovered from paper rationing, so much so, they were thinner than twiggy. Saying that, I suppose a lot of factors came into play. Paper itself, damage to infrastructure , cost to produce , available artists and so on. Until now I've never really thought about it. Hmmmm..... Interesting?

Incidentally, I've noticed that (mine at least) the 1949 beano is a different size to the more or less a4 of other beanos.
Which got me looking for a list of all the different sizes beanos have been over the years - canny find anything.
Anyone have such a list?
Yeah, know what you mean Stevendoig. I wonder if anyone's compiled a detail list? Be interesting to know if any exists?
Coincidentally, I did once get bags and boards to fit those slimmer Beanos but for the life of me cannot remember where I bought them?
PS. Besides those 1949 Beanos listed today did buy some nice Christmas & New Year Dandy & Beano comics from the late 60s early 70s. When I have sone spare time will upload them.
Normally I mainly collect 1930s/40s comics but couldn't resist these ones. Anyway, had delivery yesterday day of a nice selection of late 60s early 80s Christmas & New Year Dandy & Beano comics. Some great covers too.
