Please note that as was common with many UK comics, some of these issues have a pencil (sometimes pen) name  or address on them which is usually on the top front or back cover. This would have been marked on by the original newsagent. Due to their larger size these comics were also frequently folded in half for display at the newsagent or for delivery through the letter box. This obviously leaves fold lines on the comic. Unless noted otherwise all comics that we offer for sale on this website are unfolded with no fold lines.

Please note that we check every page of each and every comic that comes into stock to make sure that pages are not missing and coupons are not cut out. This as you can imagine takes up a lot of time and this is reflected in our prices.

Please note that unless stated otherwise, any free gifts advertised with the comics are not included. They are long gone to wherever these items go to.

COVER DATES ON BRITISH COMICS

Please note that the cover dates on British weekly comics (as with most weekly magazines/periodicals) IS USUALLY NOT THE DATE that the comic was for sale on, but the date usually for Saturday at the end of the week of publication. This was done to give newsagents some time to sell the comic before it was out of date. Most British comics state clearly what day they actually went on sale and this can be seen clearly from the scans.  

If you are buying comics for a Birthday or Anniversary gift then it is better to be buying for a specific week rather than an actual date as this in many cases will not be a published date.
