What comics did you buy today?

[colcool007]

Well Moniaive was a roaring success as far as I am concerned unless you happen to be my bank manager.

The family haul was many and varied, so I am going to stick with the highlights.

Meltdown Man trade paperback
3 Commandos (Divided Aces, Black Ace and Green For Danger)
Another pile of Rising Stars
7 Buffy
American Freak 1 to 5
Some random Star Wars
Vamps and Vamps: Pumpkin Time
A pair of Doctor Strange issues
1983 Eagle Holiday Special
Sh*t The Dog poster issues 1 to 4
Wolf Country TPB
Samurai
War Picture Monthly 6
Wildstorm Presents #1
Two series of Shadows Fall
Rok of The Rovers
The Dredd Phenomenon: Comics and Contemporary Society by John Newsinger
Several pages of Stref's published work for The Broons
Random issue of X-Men
Two pages of John Ridgway original art

And if that was not enough, I also got sketches from Nigel Dobbyn of one of his aliens, Mark Toner's alien guide, Frank Quitely's Paw Green who is keeping company with Stref's Paw Broon.

Congrats on Candy #1 Adam - I don't think I've ever seen that on eBay. Felt sorry for the seller, who had 98.4% feedback because one happy customer accidentally gave them a negative.

Thanks. I noticed that on his feedback as well. I have to be honest that I'd not only never seen Candy #1 before, I'd never heard of it before! I've done a little research on it but intend to do more tonight as I'm up all night and it's now arrived.

Sh*t The Dog poster issues 1 to 4

Nice, on the lookout for those myself

Went to Glasgow last week and met up with a few folks from the Glasgow "scene" - Adam Smith, Rob Miller and Frank Quitely (didn't know it was Quitely until after I'd left though!). They kindly gave me a few freebies too:

-The Collected John G Miller 2000-2011
-Big Moff - Strap On Japan (ridiculously funny, kept me giggling all the way back to Liverpool)
-The John G Miller Scrapbook (amongst the most insane things I've ever read!)

Quite a bit about Candy at http://bearalley.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05 ... art-3.html This is part of a series of posts by Roger Perry on his days on Eagle, Countdown et all. Fascinating reading

Candy is a wonderful thing! A failed Gerry Anderson project and now a comics curiosity of the first order, mainly because it's one of the creepiest things ever; you wonder how they didn't notice how disturbing those puppets are! Besides the comics and annuals there were also Candy story books in the form of photo stories... as I'm a fan of fireworks my favourite is a book issued for Guy Fawkes night called "A Penny for the Guy".

Ha! They are VERY creepy! They would have given me nightmares as a kid.
