Hello, all! I've finally catalogued all the comics I have for sale, and posted a long, long list (with some pics) on my blog.
Below I've reproduced the list of 2000AD stuff, but there are also loads of other UK comics - Deadline, Crisis, Toxic!, Blast!, Strip (with Wagner/Grant/Gibson on Genghis Grimtoad), early Starblazers and more - and US ones from DC, Marvel, Wildstorm, Vertigo and other publishers.
I'm also selling Walking Dead softcover trades #1 to 5 and a comic slipcase set of Lost Girls. Take a look!
I've put a price on just a few, but please treat it like a car boot sale and make me an offer on whatever takes your fancy. I'm aware that quite a lot of this isn't worth much, but I'm keen that it goes to a good home.
Bulk inquiries are welcome. Collection is fine, or you pay the postage. See other notes on there for guidance. To buy, email me at mikedonachieATgmailDOTcom or PM me on this board.
Cheers!

Now then, does this have everything that the first DC Bad Company trade didn't have? I mean, if I were to sellotape them together would I have the entire contents of the Bad Company "case file" that's just been released?
And I will give you four pounds for it, plus postage! :)
SBT
Also, I would like to nab:
Nevada (trade)
Loveless (trade)
Wildcat #1
I can't possibly make you an offer that tallies with what you would be secretely hoping for, so I will leave it to you to name a reasonable price, your majesty.
SBT
Hi, SBT. They're all yours. Can you email me when you're at a computer? Assuming you're on your phone, as usual.
One last point to add, everyone: I'll probably post everything late next week. Getting some interest via Twitter, FB and G+. Phew - the modern world, eh?
I think you'll regret it.
But I'll happily take the Titan:
Judge Dredd 1 (Brian Bolland art)
Judge Dredd 2
Judge Dredd 3
Judge Dredd 5
Judge Dredd 9
Judge Dredd 16
Judge Dredd 20 (worn; Steve Dillon stories)
The Cursed Earth books one and two
Judge Caligula books one and two
The Judge Child books one to three
Block Mania
The Apocalypse War books one and two
City of the Damned
HOWEVER, if anyone wants these then I will step aside; my aim would be to give them to my boys to read.
Also, could anyone tell me what a reasonable offer might be for these? I don't want to leave Trouty penniless, and if I am snaffling some hidden gold mine then you better tell me before they get ten years of grubby handling from my snottery urchins.
EDIT: Although I woudl quite like the Block Mania/ Apocalypse ones for myself
Erk! This is all moving a little too quickly to keep up, I'm afraid.
Dr X, you are, of course, welcome to the Titan books but several have gone already. I'm updating the blog by striking through what's been sold. Click through and let me know what you want.
I'm charging around £4 a go for those books but I'm open to an offer for them in bulk.
(And I won't regret it. Most of these are doubles. They represent about a fifth of my comics collection. Argh.)
I'd love to take Shimura book and the Motorhead poster off your hands. Drop me a note with a price and I'll throw money at you!
The Cursed Earth books one and two
Judge Caligula books one and two
The Judge Child books one to three
Kin I have them, Paw, kin ah?
Dave: they're yours. Message on the way.
Dr X: done. That's seven books totalling £28, but call it £25 plus post. Is that okay?
Also, tell me how you want them sent. There may be a Weegian boarder or two at the Dundee Comics Day on October 30, if you can make arrangements.
'Stuff with spine' is that an instruction? :D
Yes, Proudhuff. Perhaps some of our politicians might benefit. :-)

Thanks. I am away this weekend with work but will be back on Sunday afternoon and sort payment then, if that is okay
Woah there, you old son of a gun! Let me get a postal estimate. They're pretty big so it'll be a few quid. No hurry to pay.
Once I get a good few orders in (and they're certainly building up) I'll do a big post office run. I'll make sure to make sure old people must wait before they get their pension. REVENGE.

May I recommend you take a gander at the parcel 2 go website before you go sweating down to the post office. Crap loads cheaper and they pick up from your door with no need to fight off the grey horde who despite having nothing better to do with their day, all choose to visit the post office at lunchtime.

Yep, I'd recommend Parcel2Go too... although I still get the usual hassles that you sometimes get with couriers they're MUCH cheaper than the Post Office and their online help "chat" service is brilliant. Everytime I've had a problem, they've sorted it out dead quick!
If you're going to post loads with them, best to top up your account by £100 'cos they'll give you a bonus £5 on top.

Thanks, lads. I'll take a look at Parcels 2 Go.
- Trout
There's always Zippy Couriers
This is where I go BUMP!
I'll be posting things to everyone on Friday. If anyone else wants to join in, just let me know!
- Trout
Two posts in a row is my limit - honestly! :)
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has replied. I'm very pleased with the response.
In fact, there have been so many replies that it may be Monday before I get everything in the post. My apologies to you all. I'll be in touch with final totals as soon as possible. I'm kind of trappped indoors some of the time by childcare duties.
Finally, it's interesting to note that the black-bound Titan reprints were my best-sellers. You'll see that almost all of them are crossed off the list. There's no substitute for good quality.
All the best
- Trout
Yeah, okay then. Three posts it is.
Just a quick message to say everything is in the post, except for yours, Glasgow man Dave Thomson! Send me your postal address!
- Trout
Well done, now how are you going to fill those spaces on the comics shelf? ;)
Your Black Titan books reminds me that i left a box of them 'somewhere' during one of our many moves

Pshaw! I'm more an Edinburgh man! ;)
There are no spaces, Proudhuff. That was the problem. Things were being piled around the shelves.
Sorry, Dave, to tag you with the Weegie stigma. ;)
