    A little corner of the UK

    in Comic Polls & FAQs

    wish i was around for these old Marvels re-prints, my English comic collection consists of full runs Transformers, Action Force, Real Ghostbusters, Thundercats and Punisher.

     

    Similar to me really.

     

    I'm only 35 so the reprints mainly came out before I was born. There was an LCS in Boro (Books n Comics) which sold bundles of UK marvels, 5 for £1. That box provided me with almost complete runs of Transformers and Action Force. :cloud9:

     

    The Punisher reprint was my first "Pull List" in that I had a standing order at my local newsagent. This was a good few years before I could afford those pricy little yank comics that would tempt me.

     

    My prized (And sadly missing) Marvel Super-Heroes set was picked up at a local car boot sale for 10p per issue. I also picked a stack of Hulk reprints (With Cap Britain / Black Knight backups).

     

    Isn't nostalgia brilliant???

     

    im 30, and i remember getting Punisher 1 on the IOW on holiday and as a kid thinking wow how violent, i only knew bout UK comics till i was 13 as never had a LCS near me.
