Into Battle in York - part 4

It's not long finished but I just wanted to share these images from the 'Into Battle! The art of British war comics' exhibition that was recently on in York. 

Part 1 of my photos was here

Part 2 of my photos was here

Part 3 of my photos was here

These images show the material that was on display on the right hand side as you entered the temporary exhibition space

Dark they were and golden eyed - adverts

I've long wanted to have a post for all those great vintage adverts for long-gone comic shops, so this is the start of that. 

Got any other adverts for Dark they were and golden eyed? Feel free to share 'em! 3 posters below, 3 different addresses.

Ron Turner artwork for Eagle annual 1984

I'm just recording for posterity that this artwork (by Ron Turner from Eagle annual 1984) still exists. 

It was sold by Compal in their May 2024 auction (lot 124). 

Hammer price was £250

World of adventure, fantasy & comedy

 I don't normally recommend buying old comic catalogues but in the case of the 'World of adventure, fantasy & comedy' catalogues from A&B Whitworth I'd be prepared to make an exception. These are well illustrated catalogues full of comics that makes them almost reference works in their own right. Well worth tracking down on ebay. 

I've no idea how many issues were produced but these are what I've found so far... 

UPDATED: Cartoon Time - Marvel UK

This is one that I'm filing under 'I know nothing about this'. This shouldn't be confused with the earlier Marvel UK title 'The Flintstones & friends' that ran for 24 issues (7 May 1988 - 25 March 1989). This is because this is actually Cartoon Time comic. There must be more to find out there, I hope to update this post soon.

Now updated with the covers for issue 2, 3 and 4. All images from friend of the blog Michael Carroll

Ulysses 31 - the (French) comics!

Just a blast of childhood nostalgia for me here (sort of !), yes, it's a French comic all about Ulysse 31 - a cartoon that I remember loving as a kid.

At the time of typing the (complete) 11 issues are for sale here at Book Palace for £150

For us Brits this seems to be the only publication available to us. No comics, just a book full of screen grabs of the cartoons.
