And I'm loving them! I have pretty much all the tabloids, but it's great to hear your enthusiastic commentary. I see you've a similar podcast on the little books, too, so that's a must for later.

I discover a podcast new to me, settle down to listen to the latest one, only to ear the immortal phrase, "Welcome to the final episode...!" Aaaarrgghh! Ah, well. I loved it, and am now going back to listen to them all from the beginning.

Digitally restored page from MEN'S ADVENTURES #21 (May 1953) as drawn by GIL EVANS, an artist I profess to know little about - but isn't he great?! I love the time-lapse sequence here as the shot man falls to the floor. From the forthcoming SHIVER AS YOU READ, Vol. 6 of the Atlas Comics Library.

ALEX TOTH! A digitally restored page from Dell Comics' adaptation of the movie THE LAND UNKNOWN, in which a naval group discovers dinosaurs still roam in the unexpectedly warm climes of the Antarctic. The comic was very influential on several artists that rose to fame over the following decades...

Cover to The Titans issue 1

THE TITANS! Digitally restored cover to the debut issue from October 1975 - an image guaranteed to give me a Proustian rush, instantly transporting me back to being the 8-year-old I was when first I bought this great Marvel UK comic. Art by Keith Pollard and Frank Giacoia.

I can but imagine the joy something like that would bring! Once I moved to London in 1981 there was a local newsagent with a similar overstuffed spinner rack from where one could find all manner of years-old comics, and amass complete runs. I picked up a 17-issue run of Firestorm there!

We never had those where I was. There was an old junk shop that had an upstairs room heaving with old Annuals, so going through those was always fun. That was where I first discovered Gerry Anderson and Thunderbirds, etc.. But we had nowhere that did old comics, sadly.

The thrill of the hunt was a huge part of the enjoyment of comics collecting back in the day. Traipsing around towns both familiar and unfamiliar, down dark alleys and deserted back streets, Wants List in hand, trying to find that issue of Jimmy Olsen that had so far eluded me...

It's an excellent book! Thanks for weaving such an enjoyable and intriguing tale.
