Re: What comics did you buy today?
Thanks Richard.S. Yeah, been a long journey. Will upload a picture of them all as soon as humanly possible. Nearly completed another years too. Got only 7 Dandy issues left needed to complete the 1946 run. And I also have 14 out of 37 issues needed to complete the Beano from 1949. At the moment can't access them having been in hospital for a week and can't walk. Fell off a wall and broke/crushed by left leg tibia on the 4th October. Got a titanium plate and screws in my leg. Hurt like hell. I've spent the past 8 weeks stuck on the sofa as I cannot walk or stand on my leg.Richard S. wrote: 28 Nov 2025, 17:35congratulations!Into The Abyss wrote: 24 Nov 2025, 22:14 Hooray!!

Re: What comics did you buy today?
Thanks jim244 for the kind words of encouragement as always. Yes, reaching my end goal with the 1946 run, I'm happy to say. Added quite a few more Dandy and Beano annuals in my collection too. About 20+ the last time I counted. The condition of some are breathtaking. Will try to add some picture soon.jim244 wrote: 03 Jan 2026, 20:29Knew you would get there !!!Into The Abyss wrote: 24 Nov 2025, 22:14 Hooray!! Finally completed my quest.

Thanks jim244. Yeah, nice aren't they. Bought some additional annuals recently to add to the ones mentioned. Got very nice Beano Annual 1962, and yet another first laminated 1961 Dandy annual. Will try to upload them soon with the others.jim244 wrote: 05 Jan 2026, 22:41Really lovely stuff as always Sir.Into The Abyss wrote: 01 Jan 2026, 11:13 Happy New year all.

As promised. Here's some new annual additions to my growing collection. Featured are two Beano annuals from 1960 & 62, three Dandy annuals 1959 ,60, 65 and the last Black Bob annual from 1965. All in excellent order too, I might add.

However I love the comic strip on the cover features of the Dandy book.
Pretty original really, most annuals do not have complete comic strips on the front.
Great stuff !!!!!

Update: Sourced thread more comics today. A Dandy no.422 (Xmas cover) and no.315 both from 1949. And Beano no.365 also from1949. Have got both already got Dandy issue 315 but this cover is in better condition where the other although structurally sound has an unsightly dust mark. Will upload asap.
