Comics UK

Tony's trading is always my first port of call.

Sadly, he doesnt cover the story annuals.

That's exactly what I was needing! - perfect, how did I miss this?

Thanks so much!

Thanks for that, much appreciated

That's one down.!

Having recently come into a heap of old 1930's to 1950's annuals of all the story papers, I'm really struggling to find a source which dates them all and lists how many annuals there were in total.

None of the books are dated, which is annoying.

Does anyone have a nice dated gallery of the annuals ...

For some reason I can't get into boys adventure comics (apart from the first couple of years of the New Eagle)
I very much enjoy reading all the lassies comics though!

Picked up 15 Plug comics on Sunday for next to nothing.

Found 3 "Star - love stories in pictures" digests as well ( which means I now have 4 in my collection!!)

Also ended up with the first issue of "the crunch" which I don't really want if anyone's interested?

Got handed 8 Debbie comics and 9 Tracy comics from 1981 today.

Tracy was a new one on me - some decent strips in there!

I have loads of comics with pieces missing - better to have a copy than not have one at all! (that's probably just me though).

As a further example of the relative "sameness" of my comic finds, last weekend I found a huge stack of late eighties Beanos, Dandys, Topper and Beezer (absolute perfect condition!) - I had all the Beanos and Dandys already (87-89) - although I swapped a few over condition wise.

Very oddly I needed ...

Cheers! - actually my first lot of Beezer broadsheets (already had a few Topper and Buzz) - what a great read they are.

Brilliant bunch of comics today!

40 + mid/late Seventies Beezer, a bunch of toppers and 2 Buzz.

I have discovered that a Lot of charity shops (at least around here) chuck out any donated annuals if they have the slightest spine defect and don't accept comics at all!

A couple of shops are now nice enough to let me know if they have that kind of thing!

Agreed, what a nice cover.

I forgot about 2000ad! - yep they are crazy common!

Yep, iw would be gutted as well missing out on a box of Tv21!

So I've been collecting comics and annuals seriously for a year and a half now.

I don't buy online (no fun there!) so my purchases are limited to car boots, charity shops, 'junk' shops and what people have brought to me (I have a shop as well)

I was just struck by how common some things are and ...
