  1. 2d I loved watching Buster as a kid. Me, as a kid, not him I mean. The spaceship noise was like a horn and it had a sparkler powering it.
  2. Stoopid board software. Are their technical staff on the right pills? Maybe they should execute their trainer. Forty one, forty two. Go Flash go, go Flash go. OK, I got carried away with it that time.
  3. I'm afraid to touch them Yorick, let alone look inside them. If I look that good at 60 I'll be happy.
  4. I'll post these again then, as I think they were some of them. Who cares if not, they're cool as focaccia and we need to get Flash back on track Stay put....
  5. I'll wait and see if admin respond to my PM about it - if they don't, I'll try and add them again. We can't have Flash pictures going missing, especially when we only have 48 hours to save the Earth.
  6. Oh. They showed for me? No wonder they got no likes. The link line is a link to their location on the site - they're not third party hosted. Stoopid board software. Have you had a stroke, Yorick? We've only ever been able to use one reaction per post. You want to laugh and give thanks for the same post?
  7. You've lost Mr Laughy, then? The second one from the left: Is that what you're saying?
  8. I can, just tried them on your post. There was a 25m board outage a few hours ago. Maybe someone was tinkering.
  9. Shame to see all the images I posted disappearing from the early pages of the thread. It's happening elsewhere too. They were uploaded directly from saved images on my PC, and should therefore form part of the forum history, so it's odd that the links are already broken. What a Flash in the pan.
  10. Really? Drat. Let me see if I can cancel that welcome basket.....
  11. Hello Cynthia, You may not be aware that the personal details that you enter under 'location' on your 'edit profile page' are actually reproduced publicly when you access the site from a desktop. Consequently, your full address is showing for all to see each time you post - see that I have painted it out in the screen shot below: The location doesn't show when you access the forum from a mobile / cell phone, which might explain things if you weren't aware - one might easily assume the details entered under profile would remain private with the way things are set up here. If you want to remove it, go back to your profile page and change the 'location' accordingly. Otherwise, you may find that you start getting Christmas cards from our less salubrious board surfing well wishers. Good luck, and welcome to the forum
  12. UK forum member @themagicrobot posted this internal advert from the UK reprint title 'Spellbound' which is dated 1960: It shows the Harvey books that L Miller & Co distributed in the UK throughout the 1960s, identifiable by their 'LM' UK price stamps like so: Any idea which title 'Teddy' might be? It's either a complete mistake, or a miscommunicated title. Was there a notable Harvey character called Teddy? Joe Palooka, maybe?
  13. Tim pops up as a not inconsequential Time Lord every so often too. See how he manages to convey menace and self importance in a photo here, which is more than the one that followed Capaldi could manage in actual live footage: I love that someone coloured in the letters of colorida, by the way
  14. Table Man™ has spoken! Check your inbox, Richmond, you silly sausage (that's Richmond sausages for any Americans OtherEric reading)
  15. I took the six stamp of the fourth cycle, which has a mix of predominantly Oct/Nov 1961 cover dates... ...and replaced the cover dates with the 'on sale' dates from Mike's Comic Newsstand: Date sorted, the on sale dates range from the 5th of July to the 3rd of October. A single stamp example, with all the usual caveats, but is anything jumping out at anyone?
  16. I'd be interested to see the results of this. Thinking logically, the exercise I did, plotting stamp numbers by cover dates, has already broadly answered the one salient question that started the whole "what do the stamp numbers mean" journey - cover date to stamp number sequentiality. We know of course that comics were physically produced throughout the month, not all at the same time. So a book with, for example, a May cover date, may (heh heh) have been printed and distributed weeks after a different title with the same cover month. But production dates will still be sequential. So if sequentiality has already been proven, via the study of stamp numbers vs sequential cover dates, what more could plotting 'on sale' dates from Mikes Comic Newsstand prove other than continued, albeit it marginally more finessed sequentiality? Did that make sense? And there are so many influencing / diluting factors in the mix - dual cover months, question marks over the recorded on sale dates (vs actual dates on the books themselves), the possible mix of books that were actual returns vs stored excess copies that never went to shops, US distribution travel distance variations etc. You better get plotting Rich, and reveal where your instinct is taking you. I've used actual release dates to good effect in some of my comic research - I'll be interested to see if they can add any more meat to the bones here
  17. Correct! Correct! ANSWERS Thanks for playing along everyone - here are the answers and the source of the article, hidden if anyone still wants to try and guess: We didn't do too badly in the end - 69/80 with no cheating!
