Alrighty!
I’ve been away for a while, two weeks to be exact, so I haven’t posted anything in that time. Now that I’m back, I’ll be posting regularly.
Anyhow, my trip back to my home country, Ireland….went really well, personal-wise and business-wise. Hopefully I’ll be able to reveal more details business-wise over the coming few months.
Anyhow…When I was back ‘home’ I picked up tons of swag…what you see in the pictures is a small representation of what I brought back to the US.
I brought over around 7 volumes of the Hardcover faithful reprints of the Original
‘Dan Dare’ strips.
A good few Hardback volumes of
‘Viz Comic’ …Hilarious non-pc stuff.
A few copies of the
‘Eagle’ comic from the 80’s relaunch. Yep…you can see the first issue in the pictures…it came with a free space spinner!
A few copies of some real old school war comics…'
Battle.'
A few copies of one of my favorite IPC titles
‘Scream!’…you can see the first issue in the pic and that came with plastic ‘Fangs’.
Bought a couple of the 2000ad fanzine
‘Zarjaz’ (and other various
2000ad stuff) and the British comic fanzine ‘
Crikey!’.
Got some
‘Dandy’ and
‘Beano’ stuff including a hardback reprint of the original 1939 Dandy Annual.
And as you can see…I gots me some cool
Doctor Who toys! I love the good Doctor. I got a ‘
Sonic Screwdriver’, a remote controlled
‘K-9’…two remote controlled
Daleks…a
Cyberman and the good Doctor himself!
And I got the missus…A ‘
Jack Skellington with interchangeable heads’…she loves that movie!
Not a bad haul…I still got tons of stuff up in attic of my folks house. Maybe next time I’ll manage to bring most of it over to the US.
I couldn't resist doing a Slaine combo. First I thought, Slaine v 2000ad's Blackhawk and then said..nah! Slaine and 'The Living Axe' from 2000ad's Dan Dare strip. Seemed a perfect combo because of Slaines 'Kiss My Axe!' slogan.
