I feel silly for missing out on this thread but from memory here's my collections of Beano/Dandy comics. Beano annuals: 1982 1984 1985 1986 1988 1989 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 Dandy annuals: 1982 1984 1986 1988 1996 1998 2002 I've also got a fair collections of comics from the two plus the old 66 page comic libraries. I'm also a fan of Asterix and Tintin too and obviously have a large collection of Thomas comics including the learn to read ones as well. To end my post Waterstones have now got the Beano 2008 annuals instore for 99p. I'm going to get my copy soon!

Yeah I've heard about the new Bash street kid. I've heard somewhere Cuthbert is now one of the gang. When I used to read it he and the gang didn't get along.

Yeah due to Cuthbert being a swot every BSK hated him although inside the cover of my 1988 Beano annual Cuthbert can be seen getting along with them very well before he was pushed into a rock pool. On another point he can be seen with the softies sometimes although this only happens occasionally. Anyway I've finally got my very own Beano 2008 annual, I'm so chuffed!

A brief newsflash here, the Beano 70th anniversary edition is now out! There isn't any news of it on the web yet but as I got my copy today at £4.99 it's true. I could send a scan of the copy if prompted but sadly it won't be hardback like the 60th edition.

Not including the Thomas Mags, i'm a serious collector of Star Wars, Dr.Who, Transformers, G.I Joe, Alien, Sonic The Hedghog, Power Rangers, etc. Got a big collection going. Manga though, I have more manga then kids in my school and forums combined, I waste money.

A brief message here, anyone here enjoy reading the Numskulls? They're little people that live inside your body and control your thoughts/actions. They were originally from the Beezer comic but later moved to the Beano in the mid 90s and are still going strong today albeit illustrated by Barry Glennard. After some deep research I managed to find a Beezer strip below. static.flickr.com/110/312020241_4c4195e8a4_b.jpgMost of their adventures including the following are hilarious, I bet John Edward does the same as well... I could scan some more strips for enjoyment but many of my old Beanos are quite rugged and they're not easy to scan when they take up 1.5 pages.

I remember the numskulls Halstead both from the Beano and Beezer. They were actually both different Beezer had a man with Brainy (brains), Blinky (eye), Luggy (ear Beano had Raider), Nosey (nose, Beano had Snitch) and Alf and Fread (Mouth, Cruncher was Beano) and Beano had a boy named Edd
Talking of Beano I know this is a little bit late but Happy 70th Birthday (that's older than my parents ;D) I actually got given the 70th Aniversery and if your a Wallace and Gromit fan then your in for a treat as Nick Park who was influenced by the Beano is the guest editor. The comic has alot of Wallace and Gromit references and Nick Park is actually in the strip Fred's Bed. Biffo has a strip in as well and he talks for the first time in along time

It's nice to see another fan of the Beano OJ but I don't quite get the last paragraph as I own the 70th anniversary annual and see so signs of Nick Park or Biffo speaking, perhaps this was from a Beano comic. TBH there's a few Wallace & Gromit strips seen in some issues of BeanoMAX, the alternate comic to the Beano. Speaking of the Numskulls I've one of their strips here scanned by yours truly. Ironically this is from the same comic where Dennis's sister Bea is first introduced. i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj30/mrdbetts/numskulls.jpg

They were in the one I got. There were tecno Trousers in the Bash Street Kids strip and the creature comfort animals were in Biffo. Nick Park did appear in fred's Bed. fred went back in time and met a young Nick Park who found ideas for his works.

An interesting find here, this website has an assortment of UK comic strips from famous artists like Ken Reid and Dave Sutherland of the Beano. An example from my favourite artist Tom Paterson (The Numskulls, Calamity James, Brain Duane, etc.) is below with links to other artists' strips on the site. uk.geocities.com/pjgtompatterson/Also again I've found a clip here of somebody trying to do a real life attempt of the Numskulls, not bad for a first try.

A long time ago, when it first came out in the US, I had a subscription to Shonen Jump, but I never renewed it.
I currently subscribe to Southern Living (a bit feminine, yes, but it's got some killer recipes).

I am a regular reader of British Railway Modelling, which I have been collecting since I was 10, and on a less regular basis I also collect issues of Railway Modeller, Model Railroader & The Railway Magazine.
On the comics side of things I have quite a few comics such as The Simpsons, Charlie Brown, Zits, Ginger Meggs, Fred Bassett, The Polititian & Footrot Flats.

I somehow managed to forget Calvin & Hobbes. I absolutely LOVE that comic strip.

One of my favorite comics I like to look at is Garfield, Baby Blues, & The Family Circus, although I don't look at those on Sundays anymore, but they're still good to look at.
I usually enjoying looking at Thomas & Friends magazines ever since I was little, then later I enjoyed looking at CruiseTravel magazines, even though I still have the old magazines from a few years. And now, I even look at Airliners & Airways magazines too! Even though I started buying the copies since 2005!

Prior to what someone else siad on here I've just brought my first copy of Viz last week and it's freaking hilarious! It's like an adult version of the Beano with favourites like Terry F*ckwitt, Tinribs and Biffa Bacon ( a parody of Beefy from Bully Beef & Chips). Luckily thanks to a few charity shops I've also got the Clown's Pie and the Rusty Sheriff's badge in my Viz collection as well.

Ever since 1998, I've been an avid reader of STEAM RAILWAY, the result, partially, of all those of years of watching TTTE&F!
The first edition I ever read, in fact, was the June 1997 issue, at Manchester Airport just before taking a flight to Portugal. It was that issue that reported the passing of The Reverend Wilbert Awdry OBE, aged 85. Being young at the time, my feelings only extended to sympathy for the Awdry family, if my memory serves me right, but, in the years that have followed, there have been moments when I really have felt the pain of his passing.
Anyway, as of 1998, I became an avid railway enthusiast, thanks to that magazine. And I still have it delivered to my door in the post, always with something new to discuss.
Others have joined it in the ranks since then: THE RAILWAY MAGAZINE and HERITAGE RAILWAY included, to name a few. I've even caught on with the HORNBY MAGAZINE trend quite recently - but then anyone who's collected Hornby Products from a young age, as I have, would probably do so also, don't you think?
