  1. Never liked Hendry. Has that arrogance that all successful sports men have (Schumacher, Shearer etc) but it does not make them like able. As if they would care less.
  2. Ronnie at his best, right mindset, best player on the planet. By a mile - said in the interview he was working with a doctor - must be a sports psychologist I couldn't hear properly. With the right mindset he could win everything.
  3. You would think Disney/ Marvel would be all over this like a rash
  4. Ronnie does it again. No late night finish at the Crucible this time though.
  5. And three days of aching. WTTB Spidey
  6. Comicals deliver to the continent http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Comics-Supplies-Mylites2-2mil-Mylar-Comic-Bag-50-/160778457196?pt=UK_Books_Comics_Magazines_Comic_Magazines_ET&hash=item256f24906c (thumbs u
  7. Yeah, she looks about 10!
  8. Will PM you tomorrow to sort out details. Neil
  9. I reckon Marvel will announce sometime that Gaiman will be finishing the Silver Age and do the Dark Age but I don't know if Moore will allow reprints of his material. I know he did say something about giving his royalties to Mick An lo but he has died now so i don't know what he would do now.
  10. He's our Hershel.... remember to head their during a Zombie Apocalypse. Just stay away from his barn. (Full of silver age Marvel keys)
  11. Is there anyone on these boards who isn't packing? Our friends across the pond seem to have more guns than comics and now you tell me Garry packs too? Still that's the farming life I suppose.
  12. Typical Boro states Cardiff lose and we get a draw.
  13. It's out of our hands - need Cardiff to lose and us to win - not impossible but not likely either. We only have ourselves to blame though - we were flying high for a while at the start of the season.... UTB
  14. Wow, that went for a lot of money really. Good sale.
  15. Well to nights game is dying at the moment 70 mins in - roll on extra time
  16. Value both of your opinions. My copy does indeed say ©1993 and also ©1992 for the introduction. So this does look like the second print/UK copy. There are many over here that see this copy as the first print, especially in ebay listings. Thanks for input. Need more activity in this thread.
  17. We're too busy being amazed at Chelsea. Don't like them but gotta say that is some result.
  18. Quick question about the Golden Age TPB. I have just picked up the McKean cover copy for £6.50 (ten dollars) is this the second print, or UK copy or what? I thought this was the first printing but I'm not sure now my commic software says its the 2nd print. Either way its a bargain for me.
  19. Jack Hatfield's I also remember another "Bookshop" on Borough Road. It sold, books, mags and toys. A little bit like FP, but with blacked out windows Before I headed south, and away from the treasure chest that was Book's 'n' Comics, I also used to buy a lot of comics from a run down second hand book store in the precinct near to the post office (Down the side of McDonalds). The elderly owner had a huge amount of midgrade bronze and copper stock and very little knowledge about them. I picked up a mid grade run of Daredevil (50 - 200) and about a longbox full of Fantastic Fours for about 20p an issue. All great reader copies. I've still got the DD's and sold the FF's for 50p each a few years later. I've only ever been in the Boro FP once and like you, I managed about 30 seconds. Redcar car boot sale was also good to spot some bargains. That's where I picked up my run of Marvel Super Heroes, Hulk Weeky's and Spidey Weekly's for 10p each Mmmmmm....UK reprints I remember the shop that you are talking about - it was on the opposite side of where the post office was on Grange Road. They also had books, records, CD's, videos - a virtual treasure trove of quality junk. I used to go in regularly before I started collecting again and thumb through the comics. They closed down a few years ago, virtually over night, and I always wondered what happened to all of their stuff. Yeah he just disappeared - must have a stack of comics and books in his loft. I also remember the guy who did the llocal markets - he would do Stockton, North Ormesby and whatever others were local. Remember buying Marvel Team Up 100 from him.
  20. I remember those places - especially the store next to Jack Hatfields on Borough Road. I would still takes these over what we have today which is one FP on the whole of teesside. If I am in town I usually walk in and out within 30 seconds. Other than that I do not know of any comic stores till you either go up to New castle or down to York. Very poor.
  21. Nice. What is in the custom bound hardcovers?
  22. Yeah that's the Marvelman Special (thumbs u Did have it from new in my original collection but hoping to pick it up later today
