Following comments on our Aus. comic in the reading group,  I made an effort and spent time searching through my boxes.  So, we now have an issue of Sergeant Pat of the Radio Patrol:-

and an issue of another Aus comic, this time an original, Flynn of the FBI, by Arthur Mather, the artist who did the Aus. Captain Atom.:-

Thanks for uploading these books! I may be the only one, but I've always enjoyed the Radio Patrol strip, both for story and art. This example is rather later than I've seen before...the cars are late-40s/early 50s. Radio Patrol was really a child of the 30s and I suspect the novelty of police cars with radios had worn off by the time this story was published.

I scanned Flynn of the FBI but I haven't read it yet. The artist (is that Maher? I can't read the signature clearly) swiped his women from Mel Graff's X-9, though the other characters seem to be his own. Graff's layouts and handling of backgrounds had an influence on Maher as well. Very interesting.

Yes that's Arthur Mather who also did Australian Captain Atom.

More good stuff thanks Paw

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I thought I had a copy of the Aus, Garth.  Well, I found it  - and it was in bits.  Took me a while to scan it 'cos it fell apart and the pages got mixed up.  However, nobody is interested in all that nonsense, you only want the comic. This is a landscape comic by Atlas and you will find it here:-

Finally, an original French version of Atome Kid.  Issue #1 is now onsite here:-

A new addition the the Italian language section.  A striscia, which is an oblong comic just over 6 1/2 inches long by 3 1/4 inches high.  This one is part of a Sherlock Holmes story, published by Edit. Fumetti, Milano, Dec. 1957.  Art by G. Cossio.  Enjoy it:-

2 new additions to the Spanish language section.  Los Mosqueteros#1:-
https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=41305
and La Leyenda del Puma#1, which is in the El Puma section and not by Boixcar.  Not sure which version came first:-
https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=41304
Both these landscape comics I bought in a 2nd. hand bookshop in Palma de Mallorca and both were in poor condition.  I've had to crop them quite a bit but there are still some flaws showing.  At least we have 2 more first issues.  Enjoy them.

Just to add the the Freixas delights now pouring onto the site, here is El Capitan Misterio.  You can find it here:-
https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=41406
What a mask/hoody thingy!  The Hood; El Encapuchado; El Hombre de la Estrella and a few more all had this style of headgear and it looks really menacing.
You can see the cover to the last hero above, here:-

OOPS, made a mistake with that El Capitan book and I'm afraid it's no longer available. Apologies.

Hi Paw I am uploading some UK comics for you. Could you check and put what you think is a good stopping point for the titles we carry? I have some others not sure if I should post.

[paw broon]

Another example of a striscia.  This one is a slightly more obscure title I think.  The Phantom/Ghost Archer - although when you read it you wont find him firing many arrows or being particularly phantomy/ghosty.
https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=42467
The size of this comic is just over 6 1/2 inches long by 3 1/4 inches high

[paw broon]

My first scan with my new machine.  Still getting to grips with it, so, if the finish is not the best, that's my fault. 
Jet Fury#25 and you will find it here:-

[paw broon]

Atome Kid 03 in the French section here:-
https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=47021

[paw broon]

The first Captain Valiant issue. Typical weird numbering as it is #50.  More Mick anglo goodness and you can find it here:-

Comet #437:-

Another Space Comics, this time #56.

15 issues of Nelson Lee Library and we're moving into the Phantom Protector series.  As usual, some atmospheric covers.  You'll find them in the Nelson Lee section coming up to #500 and above.:-
https://comicbookplus.com/?cid=780
Following right along, 4 issues of The Thriller - #81, 95, 352, 546.  In the pulp section:-
https://comicbookplus.com/?cid=740
Plus, in the story paper section, 3 pre-Sexton Blake issues of Union Jack, a new issue of Modern Boy.

There were some problems with some of the Nelson Lee batch.  Fortunately Mark noticed - is that bloke eagle-eyed or what? - so I've uploaded complete files.  You could do worse than read #498 - 500 as it's the Christmas story - The Ghost of Glenthorne Manor.  Also in the back of some of these issues there is a Nelson Lee detective story co-starring girl detective, Eileen Dare.

In the Odds and Ends section, 2 poster stamps booklets from British Rail.  1935 and 1936.  These were giveaways with The Childrens' Newspaper.

nice little additions

[paw broon]

At long last I tracked down the original landscape issues of Capitan Sol - masked Spanish hero. The complete 10 issue run from 1948 is now on the site and I've moved the later collection to the new heading as well.
The comics were printed on really thin paper and there is a lot of shine through.  Well worth a look.

[paw broon]

That's tasty.  Thanks.  I'll follow the listings for a few days and jump in when anyone else least expects it.  Holy Moley, postage is expensive!  Actually, those are rare here.  They just do not show up often at all.

[paw broon]

Another issue of The Merry Maker.  This time #9 from 1946.  You can find it here:-

I found some more issues of the Spanish translation of Kit-Boy and have uploaded 3 of them.  I had to do it using the upload button as mass upload refused them.  More to follow, but slowly.  You will find them in the Spanish language section.
