Comic Book Postal Auctions Home Page

Our UK section starts with Comic Cuts Christmas issues from 1911-1917, mixed story paper Coronation, Jubilee and Special Edition Numbers from 1911-1940 and Hotspur 1-11 including No 1’s free gift, the elusive Black Cloth Mask. The outstanding item from this period is at lot 6 where Playbox No. 296 from 1930 is accompanied by its unique free gift Mickey Mouse Toy, still in working order and as rare as Donald Duck’s teeth. Early Beano and Dandy full years from the 1940s and 50s are also here along with some of their high-grade Monster Comics and Annuals.

Walt Disney’s Weekly from 1959 includes an enviable selection of free gifts: No 1 with Zorro’s Hat, No 2 with Zorro’s Mask, No 3 with his Pistol and No.4 with his Code Wheel. The comics are in fine/very fine grades and the free gifts – well, in 30 plus years of our business we’ve never seen them offered together before! (however, you can, as they’re at lot numbers 57-60).

The 1960s and 70s are dominated by full runs of Buster, Huckleberry Hound, Knockout, Lion, Tiger, Topper and Victor with Girl-Power satisfied by Bunty, June, Mandy, Romeo, Sally and Tammy.

Our artwork selection takes centre stage once more. ‘Laugh with S.E.A.C.’ was the jokes and cartoon section of the British Army’s South-East Asia Command newspaper during World War II. Mick Anglo’s first ever artwork was published whilst he served there, and his five-page illustrated story is at lot 23, each page signed.

There is a further strong artwork run of Ron Turner’s space and science-fiction pieces from 1959-61 along with two of his 2000AD boards for Judge Dredd and Tharg’s Future Shocks; finishing with one of the last pieces he ever illustrated, a full colour Daleks story, ‘Deadline To Doomsday’, as a follow-up to the hugely successful Dalek Chronicles. Charley’s War by Joe Colquhoun is featured in 3 lots as are two boards for Doctor Who by Gerry Haylock. Robert Forrest drew ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ for Thriller Comic Library in 1956 and three of his pages are also here. Finally, Keith Watson’s prestigious talent is strongly represented with two magnificent Dan Dare boards for The Eagle in 1962. They are at lot 67.

Our U.S. Golden Age section has a good selection of No 1 and early issues including Dead-Eye Western, Lance O’Casey, Mr District Attorney, Blazing Six-Guns!, Boy Detective, Sparkling Love and Tor with early runs of All American Men of War and Our Army at War.

We have a strong Marvel Silver Age selection including Avengers #1-4, X-Men #1-3 and 5-7 with long runs of Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Hulk, Iron Man, Tales of Suspense and Tales to Astonish. DC titles are well represented with Action, Batman, Detective and Showcase along with Gold Key’s Magnus Robot Fighter, M.A.R.S. Patrol and Total War 1 & 2.
