With Guy Fawke’s night just a few days away, let’s
take a look at some of those bright Fireworks covers. The one below is that of
a very early issue of THE BEANO. It was offered in one of phil-comics auctions
which ended yesterday. With 60+ watchers, more than 10 bidders and 36 bids, it went
for an impressive £677. Phil-comics never fail to attract top prices for their
excellent items!
As many of you may know, in addition to being a
highly-reputable eBay auctioneer of UK comics, Phil is also a publisher who has
produced the beautiful collection of Christmas covers of the Beano and the
Dandy 1937 - 1969, so if you need a X-mas gift for someone who is into this
kind of thing, why not buy a copy from phil-comics on eBay? I hope sales are
going well enough to make it worth Phil’s while to publish a similar volume of
Fireworks covers sometime in the future! Before this happens (if ever), here
are some festive covers of the Dandy from the 50s. All but one are from my
collection.
