Copyright DC Comics 1996

Welcome to my new comics page. I've always been interested in comics, since the days when my mum would take me to the shops, and on the way back I'd get a copy of Eagle or Ranger, or something similar. Sadly, although I'm a hoarder, I have none of these left. All I have are some battered copies of TV21 and some British Marvel comics from the 70's...

However I did find something else in the loft - several dozen copies of a 70's teen magazine called "Look In". Do any British surfers remember this? It was billed as a "junior TV Times" and contained stories from TV, including Follyfoot, Timeslip, The Fenn Street Gang, and other ITV favourites. Does anyone else remember it? Is there any interest in it? Let me know.

I'm just now discovering how popular these old comics are - I already mourn the day I threw out dozens of TV21's, Joe 90 comics, Superman and Batman classics AND those old Annuals. How I'd like to re-read them. Remember when an Annual cost 12/6d and contained over 100 pages...? Aaahh...

I'm also discovering the interest in old books - I've still got some battered Man from U.N.C.L.E. books - and old Dinky toys - Ed Strakers car is a beauty. I hope to set up my own small tributes to these too. Funnily enough, I never thought to type "Thunderbirds" or "Dan Dare" into Yahoo! Why not?

I've got a small comic that I know nothing about. Could someone take a look and see if you recognise it? I've also found a copy of an old Thunderbirds book. Can anyone tell me more about it? Thanks.
