I am interested in all UK distribution elements and dates - my earlier comment just underlined the focus of this particular thread ('First Official......'). The WF#105 is a known 'earliest stamped' cover date copy, thanks: Here is a new one to the thread though - Detective #273, newly updated on the above table: It's stamped a six so joins the club with the recent OAAW#89: That brings us up to seven '6' stamped books now. As the numbers increase, how likely is it do we think that all these are actually late second cycle books? If they were the 'first ever', and arrived sequentially first in the UK, it might make sense that the numbers would be comparatively low (to 8 and 9). Maybe the 7 boat sank? The Detective 273 was listed by the 'Dream Director' on eBay - Duncan is obviously having a clear out. It's a shame to see him list this though, as a key representative of UK comic history:

I see that no one rose to the challenge of posting another T&P stamped Gold Key, following my post some pages back. Here is the current two shilling loner, of which two examples have been found: Gold Key are an oddity I find, in the history of US comics in the UK. Aside of this apparent lone stamped copy, we have a proliferation of 6p stickered Tom and Jerrys (and only Tom and Jerrys, no other titles have I found)... ...followed by the formal UKPVs, with the suspiciously similar printed font: There is also only a small handful of other, non-company specific price stamped examples in the files so far. And I haven't seen any direct evidence as to who was responsible for the printed UKPV's distribution over here. A most mysterious set of publications, are the Gold Keys....
