Interesting. But I cannot imagine him being reluctant about the opportunity of bringing back such a popular character unless he though Kirby might leave.

Yeah I agree with Andrew. When major titles like ASM and FF weren't sent over the obscure one might have taken their place. As for Rawhide Kid, only the following issues do not have pence versions: 69 – 74, 89 – 93, 95, 111, so the majority did find their way over here. Don't think me or my dad ever bought many western titles though.

This is a winner for me. I remember seeing it when I was maybe 4 not knowing what basketball was. This was my introduction to the sport.

Oh wow. I'm pretty certain I entered this competition. Can't imagine what I drew. Would've been terrible I'm sure. Was this a Marvel UK issue?

they only contained the indicia and had no date on them for a short while compared to the twenty plus years they were printed.

That one on eBay is anything but in incredible condition. Always loved this cover. This series deserves more love. But not $50 worth.

I stopped thinking an exciting trailer will make am exciting film a long time ago but I enjoyed that

Love that poster, never seen it before.

If it wasn't for that 9d Gunsmoke 58 I would've gone with Ewan's theory about the US Bases. Remember, Thorpe and Porter said they were sole distributors in the UK but that 9d L Miller copy throws that theory of the bases out I think Excellent work Steve.

This is great thread. CG at its best. Let's hope someone can shed more light on this. I have never heard anyone talk about this before so it may be a significant discovery

Never seen a collection of UK comics like that before? Can't understand why they weren't offered to a bigger audience elsewhere?

Interesting stuff Ewan. So do we class this as a cents Copt or UK variant?

Wow, that must be the highest price paid for pence copy?

Well somehow there has to be a convergence of this world's and the Arrowverse but clearly she cannot die. And that image is great.

Just woke up (it's 6.20am here) and remembered it's Luke Cage day

+1 This is my favourite thread on the boards. Can't wait to see what comes next Frankie.

I miss this show. Really wish it was still here. Probably too late for someone to pick up now though.

Fallen Angels Looking forward to this. Loved those early stories as a teenager so can see this aiming for the Hunger Games market

Maybe they choose her because she was great in auditions? They may be messing with the source material but let's face it, we are not their audience, why should they stick to the original format? Nobody complains when Shakespeare is interpreted into modern day settings.

Greatest splash page ever.

I bought the originals in the 80's at the time and thought it was a step up from 2000AD and collected them until the end (#26). I always look back thinking someone should fill the gap again with something similar but maybe it didn't sell enough to be viable and late teen interest seemed to migrate to comics like Viz (which sold over 900,000 copies of each issue by the end of the 80's). I only spotted the 1996 special sometime in the early 2000's and got hold of it more out of curiosity. The cover is a reprint from an old Eureka! fanzine from 1971 (Ewan probably has one ) and the comic part of the book (around 20 pages or so) features unpublished material from the 80's. Dez Skinn had been producing Comics International for some time and I guess he just decide to print some of the unused Warrior material as a flip comic to #67 (he always says "Yorkshireman never throw owt away" so I guess he wanted to make use of it but took a decade to do so; he mentioned later that this was also to maintain copyright on Warrior). I remember things like Heartbreak Hotel coming along, and then Deadline and Crisis, which I loved for a while, but none of them matched up to Warrior for me.

Never seen a copy of 27 for sale. Would be nice to finish off the set. I remember buying (well, my dad) and reading Warrior as they were issued.

now that I would pay to see.

Doesn't that make you a speculator then? He didn't say he was planning to sell. I assumed he was buying them for himself since he said he was trying to beat the speculators. Ah, understood
