Sadly, my copy of Flippity and Flop 47 doesn’t have a stamp. I doubt a stamped copy will turn up, as 47 is late 1960, over a year after 46, and after the humour titles stopped being distributed in the UK. Still, stranger things have happened.

Try this Batman 134 on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256211942966?hash=item3ba76bfe36:g:DJsAAOSwpcdk-6u8&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwPlowJkGe%2BZM%2BtSClumeMai9VPQdbI6Wu6hfk4LAS91KQGMLbUqmJCnOx02%2FoSojfYgtWD8dfc59UhG%2FzbddSAzWfnKv%2BP36zDd%2BViUNoTxyM6q3cgmv%2BA8I3zbL2R93AHVJ91e7sJPO61chxwCE8oZX8aA6jl%2BQBp2R30NmpK7%2FZBViXYOEqmREvK6ggzYUWAJix6UqbSmCIysqqFhzbD8N5ezcD0CvH%2F99VRDhpMu7Vec6V34CMwHvh9hAhtNMjg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8Lx89PeYg

In the UK, issues 2 and 4 were very difficult to find. I think they are listed as ND in Alan Austin’s price guide, which was my note. The other issues weren’t so scarce. Issue 1 was the commonest by far.

House of Secrets 95 has a Nick Cardy cover.

Thanks.

All-Star Squadron 15 is meant to have a 16-page Masters of the Universe insert. But my copy doesn’t have the insert. I bought my copy of All-Star Squadron 15 new, when it was published. I know for certain that I would not have removed the insert. Also, the staples look tight to me. Can anyone think of any explanation? My other issues of that period (such as DC Comics Presents 26) all have their inserts.

I have always thought of those two as DC publications. Mike’s Amazing Comics thinks so too.

Great stuff! (The Superman 132.)

I’m working on a plan to move back before I’m too old!

Magicrobot, I have similar memories of London markets.

I bow to no-one in my love for Walthamstow, but a seaside paradise? No. I was born there, and lived there and in Chingford for about 40 years. I’d move back if I could!

That didn’t just happen by the seaside though. For example, I found a new-looking copy of Detective 341 in Walthamstow in about 1972/3.

I tried to buy the Flash 108 but it was already sold.

So the Flash 108 is now the oldest stamped DC?

Here’s a Flash 108 from 30th Century Comics’ website, with a nice price stamp. I can’t remember if this is one you need.

This thread has convinced me that every single DC greytone cover is beautiful! I had never seen that Big Town.

The only EC horror covers by Wood are Tales From The Crypt 26 and 27.

Ah yes. So they tie for the earliest stamped and distributed DCs. I’ve never seen an Action 257 stamped before. Fairly sure I have seen a Superboy 76 stamped.

Is Showcase 22 the only issue dated Sep/Oct to have been found with a stamp?

Nice find! BTW, Showcase 22 is Sep/Oct 1959.

Ah, of course. No, I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen a stamped WW 109. But if Showcase 22 can turn up with a stamp, anything can happen! I take it that there hasn’t been any progress with your table lately?

Sorry, I’m probably being a bit dense, but I don’t know what you mean.
