UK Bronze age books if you collect them post them here!!

[batmiesta]

Here are a few of the covers from CB and SS&CB. I do have a couple of silver age books as well and others that I will scan later.

 

Wow! Those Captain Britains bring back good memories for me, i no longer have them and have forgotten how good those covers were, great collection ComicDoc.

Excellent thread. Here is a detailed history of Marvel UK:

It's strange, I bought these books at the time as well as the originals but for some reason I didn't keep the UK comics. Can't explain why

It's the same when it comes to pence vs cents, most UK collectors spurned pence copies for the cents copies, but i have noticed that a lot of USA collectors seem to like them.

Wow, I haven't seen some of these books since the late 1970s. There was a Canadian book chain that used to import a lot of UK publications. About 24 of these British comics were randomly bound into volumes that they would sell off for 3 or 4 bucks. I bought a stack of them and painstakingly removed the glue from the binding so I could put the individual comics in order - hey, I was only a kid. I really wish I had these now since they're long gone. It's great to see some of these covers again.

Being from the UK I love the pence versions, and those that were ND over here originally.

 

I have compiled a list of those ND comics, it can be found here...

Here's a HC UK book that I posted in another thread.

That is one lovely Captain Britain collection ComicDoc. Many of those Uk marvel books had new cover art, makes you wonder what happened to it all?

Great looking book and cool cover.

Looks like Wilson art with maybe Romita inks.

I looked inside and no credit given to the cover artist(s).

And the classic ASM 121-122 run, and a rare example (121) of where the UK version is significantly better than the NA one - that black is just killer.

 

As a long time Spidey fan, those are some of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life.

I have a run of the UK ASM 120's and 130's, and if I can find the time, I'll scan more covers.

Very cool Captain Britain run! Would anyone out there have a copy of issues #24 (only one I need for my run) that they are looking to sell?

Thanks! I never go on EBay UK. ..how much is that U.S.?

[batmiesta]

$7.50, and i would say £3 or £4 to ship, which will be a further $5 or$6, around $14 in total.

I managed to buy a job lot of 20 UK Marvel annuals, some of them are in the best condition i have ever seen. Too many to show at once, so here are the Avengers first. There was 6 dupes in the batch, which i would usually sell on ebay, but i thought i would give them a shot on here, do you think there would be any interest? any thought's would be appreciated.
