Would like to see more GG Swan material and in particular the Mighty Comic Annual 196 pages, have seen adverts in old albums but never seen a copy, has anyone?

Would also like to see copies of New Funnies, Topical Funnies, War Comics, Thrill Comics any other GG Swan comics.

That would be brilliant but these are so difficult to find.  I notice they don't turn up in Scanarama, either.
I've seen the ads also but just can't turn up the books.  Keep searching.
Just to add that I might actually have found a copy of Slick Fun Album 1956 but I don't want to build up your hopes as getting it in my sticky digits will involve a bit of diplomacy and, perhaps, a wee bribe.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for that one paw broon.

I keep searching the car boots wherever I go and have had soon success one of the Cute fun Albums I uploaded came from one. They can be a source of good old material and found a Tip Top annual 1952 on one. Will be scanning and uploading this soon.

I miss the old second hand comic stalls that you could find on most markets at one time, these were a great source for good old comics.

Well, that took less time than I thought but the book was in really bad condition and it took a while to scan it as it kept falling to bits.  Lots of tape as well but I hope it doesn't spoil your enjoyment too much. 
None of the ones you mention, oldtimer but at least it's another Swan.

If they are in bad shape I just take them completely apart and feed them through my document feeder.

Document feeder?  who dat?  I position each page on the platten as best I can, close it, click scan and hope for the best.

I can put about 50 pages at a time in the document feeder on my scanner. It will pull through and scan one page at a time. I put it through in one direction then the other. That is how I do so many of my SA low grade Charltons.
