Get Marwood & I

Is this book just crying out for a caption competition, or what....?

Cool. It's on my radar as I'm hoping there will be a Thorpe & Porter 9d stamped copy out there somewhere in England... @Sqeggs No UK angle, but I couldn't resist it and bought this copy anyway - it's a lovely cover

Another stamp competition:

Talking of X-Men, I spotted this copy on eBay last week and made a reasonable offer which the owner unfortunately declined. Shame, as I'd like to have studied it more closely in hand. It seems to be a UK copy with the price missing from the cover. I can't say for certain that it hasn't been removed somehow, but the absence of the T&P indicia is a second clue that the omissions are genuine production errors. It's a cool book, which I would have bought without a second thought back in my misprint collecting days, but I can't justify the asking price anymore and will just have to be satisfied that it appears to exist. This is what the indicia should look like by the way:

Anyone heard from @Kevin.J lately?

Nicely done Rich

Post some pictures Albert, if you can - be nice to see what you have.

It was a great shop back in the day wasn't it. The spiral staircase was a wonder. A visit to the shop kick started my second Spidey collecting phase (of three) - lots of lovely issues under 100 for 50-70p each. Those were the days.

Cool. It's on my radar as I'm hoping there will be a Thorpe & Porter 9d stamped copy out there somewhere in England...

Fair enough

Great spot Rich - I haven't found a later stamped cover date so far. Looking at some of the US examples on eBay, two actually have arrival dates a week earlier: That's some gap isn't it! Though I haven't found another stamped example later than July cover date myself, there would be a nice symmetry if the T&P stamps did stop at cover date September 1971 given the gaps, decimalisation switch and swift halving of UKPVs the following month:

And not a yellow hand in sight...

The filter doesn't like the D word, evidently (political party)

The press maintenance man must have been a .

"Perfectly aligned cover price" That's got to add 10%, surely

That yours BC? Check the copies on Heritage - alignment appears to be scarce...

I don't know why he doesn't want to go in there. I heard there's quite a buzz about the place.

....2027

Enough! Dodgily printed Sinister Tales alert!

I usually win hands down, yes

Handsome!

Which is quite handy, isn't it

I gotta hand it you, good spot.

It must have been a competition thing with our UK publisher reprintings, random single colour hands - I see your yellow Thor Alan and raise you a pink Iron Man Len!:
