Comics UK

Besides having all 38 Dandy comics and annual released in 1949, I'm 3 comics away from having all 26 from 1946. I'm 3 issues from completing the 1948 run, and 8 comics away from completing the Beano run of 29 comics from 1949.

Just sourced my first page (s) 20 & 21 of Buster, "Ivor Lott and Tony Broke", comic art signed by the artist, Sid Burgon. I'm yet to source the comic featured, but here's a stock example, Buster issue, 6th June, 1987. :)

can we have a bigger / better scan of 'Magic Man' please? I don't think that Gillatt has drawn the episode highlighted


No, no, artist of 'Magic Man' isn't Gillatt for sure :D

He is either Argentinian Ramiro Bujeiro or Italian Mario Capaldi , both of them having contributed in IPC/Fleetway ...

Potts' luck & Family Fortune is by Sandy James



Yes, correct Richard S. Cartoonist Sandy James did indeed do the Family Fortune strip too, but much later when it was imported from the Hot-Shot comic (first published 1986) after it merged with the Roy of the Rovers in 1989. So yes, he could ...

Thanks for the link Richard S. I didn't know Lew Stringer did a Prisoner parody? Very cool. Wonder if he's still got any art from any issue done? I'll have to ask him.

Sad to hear of his passing.

Just obtained another six pages of Hugh Morren "Just Jimmy" Dandy art. Very nice too. Coincidentally, I also have five out to the six 1956 comics needed. I have issues No.763 , 770, 771, 774 , 778 , with only No.775 yet to source.
