  1. Alright? Welcome to Fly Club, your home for all things Fly. The Fly first flew in the June 1959 dated Double Life of Private Strong number one - here's my copy - sorry about the big Thorpe & Porter UK price stamp: And here he is, inside, in his first two page Fly feature: BUY IT! TRY IT! You'll buy it again, if you do Those that did, did so in this, the first Fly in his own Kirby covered Adventures Of - sorry about the big Thorpe & Porter UK Price Stamp again: Most of the Flys were distributed in the UK, happily, if you were around at the time and buzzing - here's just a few that I have collected over the years with those tell tale UK stamps: We in the United States of Kingdom even got a solitary Fly with UK printed price - issue - here's my nicest one: And here's two more, for the purposes of showing off: Anyway, got any Flys on ya? No? Well buzz off then.
  2. Not at all, Mike. I'm sure everyone is happy to wait, and are probably off doing something else without giving it a second thought....
  3. In my minds eye, I can see her mucking about with Ethel, stamping it to the beat of a record on the wireless. Sha-kin'-all-o-ver! That last stamp, as you say - bang!
  4. That's probably what the 'then again....' meant This'll make you laugh - my latest Charlie arrival, courtesy of a drowned Rat Pat and his skin soaked cat Not one... Not two... Not three... Not four... But five Tee and Pee nine dee price stamps, ah-ha-ha-ha-hah! "Zat is truly out of zis vorld!"
  5. We've wasted our lives, Rich, dabbling outside the circle, being where others are not, flying in the face of popular interest. Then again....
  6. Morning It's a rainy night in Blighty today boys. In fact, I believe, that it's raining all over the Englandville. For those that failed to notice - or 'everybody', as we prefer to call them - yesterday was our 7th anniversary on the CGC comic forum. Seven years of Marwood and I..... Well, six if you ignore Sparky's brief tenure (which most people either did or, quite rightly, aspired to. Including us). It seems much longer, but in a another way, not that long at all. Or maybe somewhere in the middle. Lot's of reversed avatars have been used over those years, before our Cynthia was settled upon. Here are but a few: Looking back, I suppose I've added quite a bit towards the wider understanding of UK Price Variants, what exists, and their distribution in the UK since I've been rattling away here. And a few other things too, to be fair, mostly of a variant nature. We do like a variation, being one ourselves. I could do an achievement list, but that would be a touch vulgar, don't you think? Marwood says "No, it's what every other fer in the hobby does". Anyway, is there another seven years in the tank, I wonder...?* "We shall see" *In the name of all that is Holy, please NO!
  7. Yes, that's the eBay copy Paq posted - quite clearly a marker pen line when you zoom in (hence my tongue in cheek response to 'go find another'). Indeed. I'm not sure what Donuts intervention was all about - it's not like him to misread something of a variant nature - but to end the thread on a clear note, not one person has told me that they knew of the existence of the second Spidey head ASM #320 Direct Edition before I posted about it. Indeed, if it was news to Metarog, I know it's a good find! Happy hunting, all you Spidey completists out there
  8. I got 3 bullseyes and was one grade each off the other two books for a total of 2 points this round. A nice way to celebrate my 7th anniversary on the boards I think that leaves me on 12 points so far - if I can come in on or under 20 - a one point average difference - I'll be very happy.
  9. Well, it is Halloween. I think I've got it now. I was looking at the shade as the character, not the light. I can't remember his name though. bc will know it.
  10. Another Dot just dashed in from a UK seller It has a '6' written in pencil. 6 for 6p, the prevailing UK price of the time. Which is why it's 15c, and not 25c. So it could be priced 6p. That's my theory, anyway, and it's still holding....
  11. Ah yes. The cause of many an unwitting carpet burn, back in the day.
  12. ZORRO! The fox, so cunning and free! ZORRO! One shilling priced, not nine dee! ZORRO! The fox, so cunning and free! ZORRO! And here's an I Love Lucy!
  13. Third and final chaser from me - perhaps someone else can take up the cause on behalf of the community if no response comes? @CGC Mike Mike, will CGC be providing an answer on this?
  14. The Spidey head I found for ASM #320 was a previous unknown: The books you've posted are all knowns? What am I missing @FlyingDonut?
