Memorabilia Mag Questions re 'Battle'

[Ol^ Marbles]

I just rec'd this email from some guy at 'Memorobilia Magazine' re my 'Battle' fansite. He seems to want some general feedback on the subject of 'Battle', if anyone here wants to mail him with their views ??


I'm doing a piece on 1970s UK comics for "Memorabilia Magazine" and I
wondered if you'd be kind enough to answer a few questions? I plan to
include info on your web site in the article. Cheers. Feel free to post this
on your forum, responses should be e-mailed to johnfreeman@downthetubes.net

- In your opinion, what made Battle such a success?

- Why has it become so sought after recently? (I gather there's a lot of
demand for old issues)

- Do you think Battle would sell today?

- Which are your favourite strips (top 3) -- and why?

- What's the most you've paid for a copy of Battle

- which issue is the most sought after?

Thanks in advance for your help. I need responses by FRIDAY 28 JUNE.

Then watch the prices go up as the opportunists jump in.  Anyway, if it saves some mags from the bin, its probably worth it :)

I don't think that battle would sell today (the subject matter is irrelevant to most new comics readers and with a few exceptions most of it's content would look very outdated).

However out of nostalgia my top 3 would be:-

Charlies War
The Sarge
Darkies Mob

closely followed by

HMS Nightshade
Day of the Eagle
