Thanks all and good luck Colin!
I enjoyed them but had the same problem I had with my Roy of the Rovers binge - the characters lack depth and it all gets a bit samey. I read all 80 odd in a week so 'Look out for Lefty' had the same recurring issues - lost boots, missed the team bus, not well and a big trial was coming up - every couple of months. Dredger too was one dimensional as was this trucker story and as for Hookjaw - how many plots can a man eating shark have? Answer : one.
That said they are all fantastic and worthy of your groats!
