That's almost 40 years ago. I surely think that, in terms of "40 years ago" memories, this ranks as #2 behind Snooker?<br /><br />My question is how does one get a run of an entire story of Leopard of Lime Street? It's definitely readable and collectible. <br /><br />Also, how 'bout Roy of the Rovers? Is that compiled? I was just reading where he defused UXBs under the soccer pitch next to the sea side. He had to scale some cliffs and what not. Quite a courageous man he was!

Britain's on to us!" - they are all quaking in fear at Mighty May and her army of Brexit pensioners. Steve, how do you know what the Radio Times of 40 years ago was saying about The Sky At Night ? Did you save that week's issue because of the world snooker championship moving to Sheffield ? I'm very interested in space-related things and I quite liked Patrick Moore (he was really right-wing but I'll forgive him) - of course, the latest space news is that one of Saturn's moons, Enceladus, has all the right conditions for life in the ocean beneath its' frozen surface. I just hope those aliens don't come here - we don't want no space-aliens comin' 'ere and stealin' our jobs !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-60400244466256386042017-04-21T08:56:48.733+01:002017-04-21T08:56:48.733+01:00Sean, you're right.

Of course, that doesn't change the fact that they failed me when I was writing the post and that they'll now have to face The Ultimate Punishment. I can hear them right now, screaming, "No, Master!

You can see that Marvel US didn't really know what to do with the UK arm, or were close to given up. I guess we're not too far away from the Des Skin 'revolution' era.<br /><br />DW Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
