| still have the book. great to see these old annuals turning up every now and then. |

|
| I own a good collection of the Boardman Annuals, but The New Spaceways Comic Annual is a favourite. I originally received it as a birthday present as a young lad back in the 1950s and in recent years I've made a point of buying the other Boardman annuals (some of which I owned as a kid) - still looking out for a chance to see or buy those three early 'Supercoloured Annuals though. |

| I've still got this one too, a childhood treasure, I picked it up in a comic exchange shop sometime between the late 50's and early 60's. Classic Plastic Man! Well done mikki & paw. |
