I’m looking forward to getting his book next week. He is a great character apparently and yes, it wasn’t all business.
I'm hoping that this will be more personable.
Did you ever invest in 30th Century Comics Alan Class printing plates issues?

Excellent stuff.Adam Eterno wrote: 07 Feb 2025, 10:26 A lovely delivery this morning. 2 comics to put me one away from complete sets and Adventures onto the Unknown #6 to give me the full set of this series of 20 from Arnold Publications in the early 1950s.
All from the same seller who only had half a dozen comics to sell but I needed 3 of them!
Sometimes your luck is in….
It’s a great set to have. Well done!jim244 wrote: 12 Jun 2025, 03:17 Bullet 1 - 147
Now just after the Bullet Sports Special
Plus Warlord and Bullet 220 - 231 (got half of these already).
A much underrated comic. One of the ones that surprised me most when I began recollecting a couple of decades (!) ago.jim244 wrote: 12 Jun 2025, 03:17 Bullet 1 - 147

Incredible going. I’m 4 issues off a complete collection of Beano too. Also all the spin off titles and all annuals. I have a really good run of Magic but still looking for a few as well. I wonder if between us we have a full collection?Kashgar wrote: 12 Oct 2023, 16:07Thanks Doug,Adam Eterno wrote: 12 Oct 2023, 15:01Wow! I full run of Beano must only exist elsewhere in the British Library! Full runs of the Big 5 must also be few and far between, let alone the AP titles. I’m only one short of all of the Oldham’s titles myself, so I know how hard they can be to find.Kashgar wrote: 11 Oct 2023, 13:52 In nearly 50 years of collecting I've managed to amass a good number of complete collections
A complete collection of Beano, including all annuals, summer specials, comic libraries and all spinoff titles is my greatest achievement I suppose. Although I do also have all of Thomsons comic titles since 1940 and need only 49 comics, missing some Dandy and Magic, for a full run of Thomson humour titles from 1937 to the present day.
Similarly I have a complete run of Thomsons boys story/ picture papers also from 1940 to the demise of Victor over 50 years later.
AP/ Fleetham complete runs include Radio Fun, Knockout, TV Fun and Buster plus Big One and
Giggle, Then I have complete runs of Lion, Tiger, Valiant, Hurricane, Ranger, Champion, Jag, Thunder, Jet and Tornado.
I also have complete runs of all the Odhams titles Wham etc.
And lots of other items I imagine I haven't called to mind.
My favourite complete collection though is a full run of Broons and Oor Wullie books which were and still are my first love.
Thank you for sharing info on such an amazing collection.
If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been collecting and what was your initial instigation for doing so?
Excellent going Doug,I noticed that 30th Century Comics were selling a complete set a few months back,Adam Eterno wrote: 04 Dec 2025, 11:37 Another one off the list. I just had a delivery this morning of Fantastic Tales #8 which completes my set of 21 by Thorpe and Porter from 1963.
