I had figured that much out but what I don't understand is which two birds are being killed with which stone.

Obviously DandyMad should have quoted the following and that would have made it more clearer .----

No, after much further thought I have to admit that I still don't. Indulge me please with a clear explanation, and by
clear I mean
crystal clear because I'm not at my most perceptive on Fridays.

Not comics but I got the following through the post yesterday:
Big Adventure Book - a 1988 Fleetway annual covering some classic characters such as the Steel Claw, Dredger, Hookjaw, etc...
Fantasty Comic Album - a 1989 book from Hawk with more classic IPC characters in.
The second one is faint in print but both good reads for £2.99 plus P&P.

The answer to your question is clearly within the text I posted and if your brain cannot fathom out such a simple task I will help it along so that you can understand it somebody asked a question about a Bash Street Kids summer special for 1997 and the answer was yes there is an issue of the BSK summer special for the particular year in question so I did a simple Google search and found a link for eBay that not only had a cover image for the aforementioned summer special but it was also for sale which is why I used an abbreviation of the "to kill 2 birds with one stone" saying in case the person who asked about the BSK summer special 1997 also wanted to purchase it is that clear enough for you?

I just found mine yesterday. Great book but a terrible cover.

As a collector I have the giant holiday Adventure comic album by hawk books from 1989 plus the similar girls one.Nothing wrong with the story compilations it's just a pity about the average to poor printing quality that lets these giant books down.

I do now agree that the answer was within the text you posted. However, I do draw the line at your use of the word
clearly. The reason members will tend to find your posts unclear is because you do not appear to have any idea about punctuation, a procedure that is taught in primary schools in order to prepare pupils for the more challenging reading and writing tasks that they will face in their secondary schools, and in later life. Another perfect example of this is your most recent post, which I quote above, because if you take the trouble to read it you will hopefully realise that it is verbal diarrhoea, not a comma or a full stop in sight, nor any capital letters at the beginning of new sentences. This approach can easily lead to confusion in your readers. One saving grace is the appropriate use of a question mark at the end of your harangue. It may only be a small step, but it is a start. I hope you can take this advice in the spirit in which it is offered.

Found a sainburys on my travels with the hard to find annuals , got a copy of the Battle book, the store in Rayleigh essex has also the Roy of the rovers, wihizzer and chips and the best of 70s girls comics all £3.99
On a side note I too have trouble with spelling and grammar but I'm a blooming good engineer and big company's come to me for advice, so poor grammar and spelling is a minor inconvenience

Why are you trying to persuade me that you are dyslexic when there is nothing wrong with your spelling? And in any case, as dyslexia has no impact on intelligence dyslexics can easily learn punctuation. I was thinking of getting back to you if I ever find out what a
bum dribbling idiot is, but that would involve further dialogue with you, which is something I don't intend to have because I hate wasting my time. The mind boggles nevertheless trying to get a visual image of one.

I'm not normally offensive but I must admit I do make the occasional exception.

I'm not trying to convince anybody not you or anybody else as you come across as a narrow minded individual it is a pointless task to even explain so I won't bother and as for you being offensive maybe behind a keyboard like most keyboard warriors but toe to toe nah don't think so...
