Bought myself a Doctor Who Magazine No.616 from May 2025 to marry up with some Lew Stringer Dalek art I recently obtained.

Just located a further three Dandy comics issue #415 , #416 and #401. Had delivery of issues #415 & 416 today. Comic #315 is dated 5th November (Fireworks issue), and #417 is from the November 12th 1949. Both are in sound order. The Fireworks issue #415 has an obvious dust shadow on the front page, but otherwise in excellent order. And issue #416 is in FN condition with a tiny dust mark on the bottom lefthand corner the only blemish. Sill awaiting delivery of #401. Will post a pic asap. :)

Just had delivery of a very nice Beano annual from 1954 , unclipped, in FN condition. Pretty rare to see a copy with a full spine. Also a cool Buster comic dated 24th January 1976. Just had to have it. I love the subject of ghosts being spooked on a ghost train. :)

Went to Kempton Park Antiques Fair today and picked up the following from one stall:
Comet 459 4.5.1957, 482 12.10.1957, 496 18.1.1958, 502 1.3.1958, 503 8.3.1958, 504 15.3.1958.
Sun 473 1.3.1958, 474 8.3.1958
Young Marvelman 129 4.2.1956
My Favourite 78 20.7.1929
£14 the lot.

I'll be indexing these onto Grand Comics Database ASAP apart from My Favourite as those older tabloid comics have too many bits and pieces on each page.
