Dark they were and Golden Eyed

[tubbydog-migration]

Does anyone have any photos of the 'Dark they were and Golden Eyed' shops or the original Comic Showcase in Catherine Street?

Welcome to the boards.

WTTB!!!

I have a few, unfortunately i dont have a clue how to post any of the images (can someone give me a quick lesson)

[goldust40]

Went to both places, and still keep in touch with some of the people who worked there at the time. Never thought it necessary to take pictures, though....

[tubbydog-migration]

Never thought to take any pix myself-when you're a kid you imagine the shops will always be there.

 

First trip to London was to the DTWAGE shop in Berwick Street-tremendously exciting. I have never found anyone with any pix of any of the shops...or any of the comic marts at Vincent Square or Westminster Halls.

No idea Galactus-can anyone help the man?

 

If you email them to me I can try - thegroover@ntlworld.com

Where did you avatar go, Thomas?

Hi Galactus- Here's how you do it.

 

Set up an account at Flickr ( http://www.flickr.com/ )-takes about 30 seconds.

 

Upload your photos onto Flickr.

 

Next you need to get the URL of the photos-this is not the same as the URL you see when you view the page.

 

To get the URL of the actual image file, find the photo you want to use. Click the "All Sizes" button above it and select the size you want.

Two text fields appear below the photo. The second contains the URL of the image itself. Copy this.

 

To display on the forum add the following markup tag to your message:

 

 

 

This is how I got the lovely lady shown below.

Hope this works. This is from around 1972

Here's an old and crappy photo circa 1976 of a very young collector-bill outside Dark They Were and Golden Eyed

 

[Galactus]

uhhm i'm pretty sure the fact that there is an Empire Strikes Back poster in the window that this is from late 1980

You could be right I never was any good with dates

 

Although I do know it was taken in the 70's / 80's on one of my many visits to London to see Liverpool play at Wembley .

[tubbydog-migration]

I'm guessing the pic from 1972 was either the Bedfordsbury shop (which I never went to ) or the Berwick Street one
