  1. If you didn't watch the BBC4 repeat last week it's worth catching this on iplayer - Arena - Byrne About Byrne,at c. 24 minutes in it features a Scottish shop called Yankee Mags - that supposedly started up in 1940 - it seems the artist bought US comics from there in the late 40's early '50's - There's next to nothing online about the shop - it apparently closed in the 80's (this arena episode is from 1988) if the interior isn't entiely a studio set then it is at least to some degree staged with vintage comics on the back wall that may well have been John Byrne's own copies, whille the table in the foreground is haphazardly piled up with more modern fare like hulk - almost the only references online are from when the BBC tried to do a documentayr on it in 2010 that seems to have gone nowhere The Jungle Girl comic is from 1942 https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001vvvj/arena-byrne-about-byrne
  2. Another one I just dug out - Shazam - Superhero Hooky - from an unknown release of the original movie ; this is presented as a digital motioncomic on most versions - but had a physical comic release in at least one - possibly a UK exclusive
  3. I just remembered I had this one - The Losers Special Edition #1 from 2010 to accompany the movie, all ads in it are for HMV so presumably this was exclusive to their DVD or Blu-ray
  4. here's some obscure ones - Take No Prisoners - a PC game from 1997 had a promotional comic - this is one that Ian Levine said was produced by DC, which he says someone at DC told him since there is nothing in the comic to confirm it Space Bunnies Must Die - this is an obscure Dark Horse mini promo cmic that I have mentioned before on a Dark Horse thread - it's missing from most online comic databases as far as I can tell Tom & Jerry in War Of The Whiskers from DC - not sure how this will fit in with the first appearance of the game franchise in comics Theme - I guess it depends if the comic follows the plot of the game in any context in this instance & not just some generic Tom & Jerry stories Pryzm mini comic - worth noting on this that although the promo mini comic is common and well known - there's a second version where it''s the reverse of the instruction manual in flip-book format in some versions of the game (the instruction manual Varaint is the one with the white Border and TDK info in the bottom left corner - the regular promo comic has no border and a TDK logo in the bottom right corner with less accompanying text) Red Faction Handbook - I'm not sure if Wildstorm's Red Faction Guerrilla #1 was published as a physical copy - so this Handbook may be the comic debut in print (maybe a different story - I don't have it to check) De Blob - Long Live (Color/Colour) - this was available digitally in several languages - I have only seen print copies in English but there are US and UK variants with the spelling difference to be aware of F3ar (a.k.a. Fear 3) - pretty obscure but you may know of this one Justice League Heroes #1 - not as well known as the DC Universe promo comics so may have slipped your notice
  5. Just out of Curiosity - would this be on the OP's list or not - it'a an 80's comic included in some UK versions of the game - which according to Wikipedia came out under a different title "Rad Warrior" Stateside
  6. In the UK at least there was a physical mini comic printing of "Shazam! - Super Hooky" ; which was a digital Motion-comic on some US special edition; you may also have had a physical copy in the US in a different release though Here's a few DC pictures I have on file related to the Mini DVD/Blu-Ray comics - most are on your list
  7. Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) Was I right in identifying this as "Dark They Were And Golden Eyed" in the comics in Film & Tv thread? Iron Maiden members being interviewed in a comic shop for british TV show 20th Century Box in 1980 - screened in 1981; viewable on youtube It seems likely this would be "Dark They Were And Golden Eyed" due to it;s proximity to the Marquee club also featured - but I can't see their familiar price stickers on the books - had they stopped stickering copies by late 1980? - a little befiore my time.

  8. RE: DC subscriptions - there happens to be a letter relating to resuming subscriptions with October 1971 coverdates(?) on ebay right now Link
  9. The bottom book in the pile appears to have staple holes in the middle of the spine - that suggests it was originally bound into a bigger item via a third staple, not seeing any indication of that on the others though.
  10. from a DC promo comic perspective I'd suggest that "Aquateers Meet the Superfriends" is scarcer than the Warlord mini comic - seen the latter for sale several times over the years, indeed when I bought my copy sealed with the Arak figure the ebay seller was in the process of selling a handful all with old shop price stickers on; but for Aquateers, other than the copy I bought I think I may have seen 1 other on ebay.
  11. This One ? Gent Edit - looks like it's a differnt Issue from the first capture but same title?
  12. Another British Movie courtesy of Talking Pictures TV - Strictly for The Birds (1963) and featuring another style of Thorpe & Porter stand - paging Get Marwood & I two DC's on view - Batman 150 cover date October 1962 would be appropriate for when it would have been shot, but the All-American Men Of War 77 is from February 1960
  13. A very obscure Dark Horse comic - this ia a 4.5" Square promo from 1998 for a poorly received PC-game cover Art by Doug Mahnke, art by Chris Brunner, --script by Scott Allie, 16 pages including covers; Indicia title is Space Bunnies Must Die! minicomic not on the GCD as yet,
