New stuff!!...

Great news and an update that is connected to the news, a new scanner, Luke has joined me, and he has some issues from 1977 and 1978, so I have been beavering away on the 1977 page and have now uploaded it, at the moment you can get most of the issues in strip form now, and also a full No.34, I will be adding a full No.30 courtesy of Luke on Sunday along with the usual two new 73 and 81 issues.  Note that apart from what Luke sends I will not add any more full issues to 77 at the moment as I have two other years to concentrate on, but we will get there...but look out for those bonus 77 issues as I get them!!

1973 No.1 update...



On doing a bit of preparation for the last instalment of the Follyfoot 'Whole Story', It came to my attention that 1973 - No.1 was missing the Gary Glitter poster/feature, fortunately Dan was able to help in double quick time and provided me with it.  Whilst I am sure some people won't have missed Gary one little bit, I feel in terms of being a complete collection he must be there, so if you go to the 1973 page on the checklist, the link has been updated and you can now get the full issue proper should you want it.

Whilst i'm here, Dan has agreed to fill in missing spaces for me and so I can now officially announce that The Six Million Dollar Man will be the next Whole Story starting the middle of February.
