I can provide you with a cover scan of Climbing Rose if you have no other source.
That would be great thanks!
(as for the comment I deleted, I do have a spam filter set up, occasionally things slip through though, so I do delete when I see them)
Lovely covers!
Love the work you’re doing here!
If only there were a higher quality scan of the cover of The Truth About Valda, though. Valda’s always been my hero growing up. I need that masterpiece framed and hung on my wall! xx
I can provide a scan of it for you. I have all of them except number 10.
Give your address to lorrsadmin, Pai, which I will not ask her to pass on to me, but when she tells me she has it via a Private Message on the ComicsUK website, I will scan the cover of Lucky Charm 22 The Truth About Valda for you, and as I do have her address, I will send it to her. Then, acting as a kind of conduit, she will send it to you. How’s that for a plan?
Derek, you are amazing! Wonderful plan! Lorrsadmin has emailed me offering to be the go-between. Truth be told I didn’t expect to get a reply so soon! What a wonderful community this is! I can’t thank you all enough! Xx
Just off now, Pai, to my local Post Office to send the cover scan to lorrsadmin, suitably protected for its journey. In my opinion it will look great framed.
My goodness! Derek, I thought you’d send it to me via email! I didn’t expect you to send an actual hard copy of it! You’re a star! How can I ever repay you?
I loved these comics growing up! They didn’t sell them where I lived, but I was lucky to have an aunt who bought them from Australia. Does anyone know whereabouts to purchase the rest of the issues? Or are there are any available to read online? Thanks!
None on line to read as far as I’m aware, and as 30th Century Comics in Putney don’t currently have any of the issues, your best bet has to be eBay.
