Love diar cover artwork is so good ‼️Above th November issue? But how come there is no issue number or do Pence have no issue number⁉️?

Charlton didn't like to make it easy for you Foggy - no cover numbers unless they said 'first edition' etc. There's more on that in the first few posts of the thread

Meanwhile, here are three

Cheers Gnash. I'm the high bidder and hoping to win. It's already a known copy. I'm grateful for the heads up but I scour eBay like a sad person with no life so it's unlikely that I'll miss any. But not impossible! Send me a PM in future - don't want anyone bidding against me (not that they would. No other cretin buys the damn things)

One of the fun things that can happen during collecting is finding the notes and comments of former owners in with your newly received books.

Take a look at the notes on this backing board that came with my pence copy of Unusual Tales #33:

 

Isn’t it great to see how much thought went into the appraisal of this book by its former owner? It’s not in that great a shape, but the love that comes through is heart-warming. Whoever he or she was, they clearly loved their books and they had a great approach to documenting them.

As they say, “Great comic!”

I salute them, whoever they were and will be keeping this board with the comic in its new mylar sleeve

Brilliant. 

If my memory serves me well, this was tiktokman0 on ebay. Dealt a lot in Rupert Annuals..

In an earlier post I mentioned the three broad ‘UK’ phases I intended to cover in this thread as bein

…we can see that from January 1964 through to March 1973 there were no Charlton pence priced issues – everything had a printed cents price only (I’ve found a few books from 1964 with an ‘R.V. 9d’ pence price stamp on them and are investigating these for a later post).

Afternoon 

Hold the thought, if you will, that I already own a copy of L'il Genius #34. It looks like this:

 

Nice.

Space Adventures #41 arrived today 

It was advertised as 'NM' but was, of course, not, and somehow survived some really quite inappropriate packaging to arrive looking thus:

 

Being a sucker reasonable sort I decided not to query the grade and packaging. Most of my Charltons are Harry Lime grade anyway. But the seller, you see, softened the blow with a free comic!

He also included, alas, a free dead spider 

 

Now, you're way ahead of me, I'm sure, and have already concluded that the free comic was L'iL Genius #34. Correct! 

Oh, by the way, at the London Fair on Sunday, I was missing a page of my notes and bought a Charlton book that I wasn't 100% sure I owned. Guess what one it was......

 

Spoiler

"Three! Three copies of ze Little Genius Boy numbers 34, ahh, ha, ha, ha, ha!" 

"I put ze Count in ze function hidden as he gets no love from ze board memberships"
