After quite a long while, I spent some time on eBay tonight.
Beano No. 1242 is the only one I don’t have from 1966. It is the famous ‘Eric Clapton’ number that appears to be in very high demand among fans. The copy offered by the seller was described as Very Good, so I knew it wasn’t going to go cheaply, but the winning bid of £101.55 was nearly £10 more than I was prepared to offer this time… I know I will get my copy one day; in the meantime, here are the covers from the auction site, front and back:

Another seller had quite a selection of good-looking
copies of WHAM! in batches of 10 issues or so. These stirred little interest on
eBay tonight and went for less than a pound per issue! Quite a contrast to the
prices that I paid in the process of collecting my complete run a few years ago,
but that’s eBay for you… Someone got himself some good bargains!
You'll get it one day, Irmy. Keep your eyes glued to eBay.
