As far as I can be sure, from my info and the guide, the first vol was 8 page tabloid size.  After that it went to 16 page half tabloid.  The guide suggests there were 27 issues in total.
Once again, I have to say that all the credit for these should go to bede, as all that I did was make up a new section for them and upload them to that.  Perhaps when bede sees I've done that, he might want to change the attribution and might be able to add more info.

First of all I should explain that when I am asked to select a username when joining anything new I tend to make up a new name.  I was hoover on here before I joined Scanarama where I selected Bogof39 and then when I got into the database there I selected bede.  If it is of interest to anybody Hoover is my cat, whose photo is at the left, taken when he was about one year old.

The Soloway titles are from a bound volume I just got and if paw would like to add the other issues I've scanned it will save me the trouble.  I know little about the titles and I'd never heard of them until last month although I was eight when they ceased publication.

Aye, that's about right, isn't it?  I just got a bit excited about all these great, obscure comics.  In my somewhat weak defence, I was searching for info. on Soloway and putting out questions to some other collectors for help with the company, contributors and titles, all at the same time.   :-[
I have gathered up the All Fun #1/1 , but the other 2 Comic Caper issues return a "not found" result and I notice there is no mention of which site they are on.  I'll make a note on the Indexing Website and we'll see what happens.
Amending this to note that the 3 missing Soloway titles are now available here:-
https://comicbookplus.com/?cid=3106
And to say thanks to hoover for spotting the omissions, and to me for asking for them to be re-uploaded on the originating site ;D

New in the UK section, a new section for Flash comic - no, nothing whatsoever to do with the superhero of the same name - from the late '40's.  Also, a new section, The Hotspur Publishing Co. Ltd. to host the existing Secret Service titles and a new comic, Panto Pranks.
Along with that lot, you'll also find an issue of Moon Comic and Sky High Comic. Thanks to Jimpy for some of these scans but I'm afraid I can't find scanner info. for the others.
All in the UK section, I hope.

Yes it's me  :)
We are four (like the Musketeers) to direct the blog and feed the monster ;)
For comics in CB+, 1954-55 is your limit?
I'll surely upload some old french comics "from the vault" later as i've done with Amok.

Following a serious rake through my hard copy files, I turned up #2 of aka, the fanzine, so it's now available for anybody to read and hopefully comment on.  Rather an eye-catching cover though, don't you think?

For all you masked, costumed (superhero) fans, the first appearance of The Falcon - the real one, not Sam Wilson - in the flying suit as The Winged avenger.  2 lovely pages in the middle of Radio Fun # 695 from 1952.  Hope you enjoy seeing this.

Following my compilation of hoover's scans of Adventure with Zero the Silent, I've now added a new compilation, this time using hoover's scans of the second ever Black Sapper story which appeared on Rover in 1931.  Although not that easy to read in places, it should give you a good flavour of the arch villain and his amazing burrowing machine.  You can find it here:-

As compilations seem quite popular right now, I've added another one.  This time it's the incomplete tale of The Phantom Avenger, a masked mystery man whose adventures appeared in the story paper, The Triumph, in 1932.
hoover, and ernesto and josemas provided the original scans and I just extracted the pages and put them together.
You'll find it here and I hope you enjoy what there is of it:-

Another compilation.  This time a prose story from the 1940's and the later adaptation as a comic strip from the late '50's, titled, The Purple Planet Needs Air and adapted as The Purple Planet in the comic strip version which is considerably shortened.  There are a number of examples of this practice with British titles as comic strips were gradually introduced to the traditional storypapers.
Grab this as soon as you can as Mark might have something to say about it :-[

I didn't have a note of the original scanner/s, so if any of you can let me know the proper attributions, I'll change the description.

The version in the New Hotspur was a repeat of a 1952 run in the Rover.
