welcome and enjoy!
Hi and welcome to my blog about comics from other people’s childhood! It is dedicated primarily to British humour comics of the 60s and 70s. The reason they are not from my childhood is simply because I didn’t live in the UK back then (nor do I live there now). I knew next to nothing about them until fairly recently but since then I’ve developed a strong liking for the medium and amassed a large collection, including a number of complete or near complete sets. My intention is to use this blog as a channel for sharing my humble knowledge about different titles, favourite characters and creators as I slowly research my collection.
QUICK TIP: this blog is a sequence of posts covering one particular comic at a time. The sequence follows a certain logic, so for maximum results it is recommended that the blog is read from the oldest post up.

SIZE MATTERS?
Both experiments only managed short runs, which proves that size matters only as long as it is not one extreme or the other.

BUSTER PUZZLE ANSWER
EDIT 11th January, 2016: some new information has recently come to my attention and it turns out that BUSTER No. 1000 actually had the cover date of 12th January, 1980. The cover and some comments are provided in this post HERE. This proves once again that researching old comics is an ongoing and live process :)
