Any chance of a picture of the Picture Combat Library Adam?
Here goes
Oh, that really is a thing of beauty. And now I am going to be really cheeky and ask if you can do a picture of the copyright statement?
The reason being is that GMS morphed into Micron Publications a few years later and I am intrigued to find what their original stated address was. I can even return the favour with this one from the Combat Picture Annual which is from 1961.
I started to say something sensible but my parents took over my brain!

It hasn't been delivered yet but I'll take the picture when it does
Really pleased with my haul this week as I had some free time last weekend to do a bit of searching all over the web and today's delivery from Pat the postie (yes that's his name) had me feeling like a kid at Christmas although the letters were smaller than usual as it seems to have been Pocket/Picture Library week
This week I've bought:
Pocket Detective Library #1, The Big Snatch by Top Sellers/T&P - 1971
Pocket Western Library #1, The The Lost Expedition by Top Sellers/T&P - 1971
Wild West Picture Library #1, Gun Rule by IPC - 1963
Sabre Western Picture Library #1 & #2, A Time to Fight and The Broken Lance by Sabre - 1971
Sabre Thriller Picture Library #1 & #2, Night of the Vulture and Guilt is my Shadow by Sabre - 1971
Valiant Story of the West #1 by Fleetway - 1963
I also picked up the Soccer '68 posters that came with Jag #2 and #3 in excellent condition, an Action Summer special and last night won Lion #1 from 1952 on Ebay which I've been after for ages. Can't wait for that to arrive!
Strange Stories #1 by Spencer - 1960 - really happy to get this rare comic
8 x early Hornet comics including #4 which I was after
Forces in Combat #1 with free gift from 1980 - I just thought it looked interesting!
19 pre ban Action comics BiN on Ebay for £20 as #3 was in the set which I needed a copy of.
and finally issues 1-6 of Knockout from 1971 from Phil Shrimpton's auction
Managed a whole year of Warlord from 1976 from Phil's Auctions for £30. Not bad - less than 60p an issue... but some lucky so and so managed a whole year from 1975 for £5.99. That was a bargain
But I already see that it is a limited series (of three).
Reading comics since 1970. My Current Regulars are: 2000 AD (1977-), Judge Dredd Megazine (1990-), Spaceship Away (2003-), Commando (2013-), Deadpool and Wolverine (2023-), Quantum (2023-), Fantastic Four (2025-).
