Hi Mike. I’m a uk follower and comic collector. Both American and British comics. You really don’t see a lot of the old British comics at boot fares over here. A lot of these comics were read and then used along with newspapers as kindling for coal fires back in the 60s and 70s. I’ve still got all my comics from my childhood. Titles like Valiant. Lion. Tiger and everyone’s favourite The Beano. Most British comics had coloured covers and black and white interiors. You’d usually get 6 or 7 stories in each for different characters. In the Beano you’d get. Minnie the minx. Dennis the menace. ( not the American one). Lord snooty. The Bash street kids. Roger the dodger. Etc. love you vids. Keep em going.
@@VolkswagenGamer Hi mate. I’ve picked up quite a few 2000ads from charity shops over the years. I bought it when it first came out in I think 1977. I have a run from issue 1 to about 80. It was a totally different comic to what we were use to over here and introduced some brilliant characters. Judge dredd being the best known ,first appearing in issue 2. One of my favourites was the Harlem heroes. Cheers
@@stevenkirby2695I saw a pile of 2000ad mags for sale in my local library on Saturday for 50p each,had no money on me (of course)lol,but it clicked a memory. ? I have a large bundle of older ones in my attic ? Have to get them down for a read
@@stevenkirby2695I grew up in London, worked there, then moved in my thirties to America. Still have many of my 2000Ad from back when they came out, all mint except a few have some yellowing. My best ones were my duos of prog 1-10. I had many of them signed at Forbidden Planet events and 2000Ad events above the Forbidden Planet store on Denmark Street. I sold many of those back when the horrible Stallone movies came out. Wish I’d kept them. The FP on Denmark was the first ever FP store and would have large collections of Eagle comic, as well as back issues of 2000AD.
Hey Mike, another great video. So jealous you were lucky enough to have found one of the Bizarre Adventures Issue 27; I've been on the hunt for one of those for years.
Glad to hear you’re getting into the vintage oversized Treasury editions. They are my favorite comics to collect. Some hold good value. All of them are so fun to read for the supersized art. Would love to see you pick up some of the valuable ones. They look great on a display shelf and are tricky to find. So it’s always satisfying to bring home a good one.
Donatello is my favorite turtle, but my cat is named Leonardo. Also, I like the footage where you show the art panels inside the book. It's really engaging.
Well done on the UK titles, Valiant was always an old favourite.. check out and see if there were any Eagles, always collectable in the UK. FYI.. the last time I saw the Adele Blanc Sec English translation..it was selling for £149!
Love those British comic books! I don't know much about them at all, but they're certainly very interesting, and interesting is good! I'm glad to see you show some of the interiors of your purchases as well, as it's also the stories and content that make these comic books so great! Look out for Bizarre Adventures #28, a great Frank Miller Elektra story, perhaps her first solo story?
Mike in the UK in the 60s these were our weekly comics . Obtaining DC and Marvel was sporadic with no continuity. As a really young kid it was predominantly the fun comics that appealed to me with titles The Beano Dandy Beezer and Topper. As I got a bit older I strived to collect as many US comics as I could afford but also bought comics like those you picked up. Later on our UK comics became more sci fi and The Eagle with Dan Dare was great. I think the Beano ran a story you would like General Jumbo where he had an army of remote controlled soldiers. The likes of the ones you picked up are not that common even over here so you have done well finding those. Great channel, keep up the good work.
Great pick ups. I purchased the Wonder Woman Historia sometime last year when James Gunn mentioned it on his Threads feed. Never heard of it before then. I still have to read it but the artwork I saw while flipping through is amazing.
28:12 LION Comic. Back in the ‘60’s this was my weekly UK comic of choice, if you look inside you should find a ‘Robot Archie’ story, an iconic character and definitely my favourite. Found your voice over entertaining 😃
I know Robot Archie as Archie (the robot of steel) and it was a good read back then. It seems to be an English/Dutch co-op book. The Archie story i remember was situated in an apocalypting future version of my hometown Rotterdam. Storm and Trigïe are also awesome books to look for.
I'm a UK viewer and former reader and collector of British comics. Alot of those titles we don't often see pop up at fairs or shops nowadays. But we're very popular back in the day. Alot of prolific well known British writers and artists cut their teeth on these sorts of comics, like Hotspur, Lion, Battle and some of the girls publications before moving on to create their own work on titles like 2000ad and Eagle, later on being snapped up by Marvel and Dc and gaining more recognition later on for movie and TV adaptations.
Everynow and then you came across of those old british comics in Finland, maybe I should pick those up next time I see time! And yeah, Leonardo rules!😃 And that is a cool story with Leo
wow that's awesome that you are a Leonardo fan he's my favorite turtle as well I'm a big fan of the TMNT and I had that comic but I'm back on the hunt to get it back Cool haul bro 👍
Very unique finds in this great episode of Lunch Money Comics! My favorite out of everything was the ASM 200 but the large graphic novels were super cool. I need to go to more antique shops and flea markets myself!
Hi Mike Mark from UK here when you are out and about look out for a British comic called Vulcan it was a great read containing various stories including the Spider which featured on the cover of your Lion comic other stories included Don Lawrence Trigun Empire which was excellent in the end Vulcan did merge with Valiant which you also have some issues of great video again❤❤
Marvel Bizarre Adventures X-Men is very cool! I have my copy from back in the day bagged, only read once or twice .......who knew that magazine format would be somewhat unique 50 years later? Nice pickups, Mike!
From scotland here mike,and theyre not as common as you might think here ? I have many annuals of hotspur,valiant,lion and thunder,shiver and shake and so on but i dont think as many single issues survived ? I could be wrong but i dont see many especially in decemt condition ? I grew up reading them but i think they mostly just got thrown out like old newspapers did ? Enjoy reading them !
I remember the Bizarre Adventures selling out quickly at the store when I was in High school. Everything X-Men was so hot at that time. Such great memories of buying the books at cover price!😂 If I could only go back in time I would have bought multiple copies of X-men books and invested in Microsoft!😂
I love that Bizarre Adventures issue. The painted cover shines. I spent hours enjoying just that one image back in the early 80s. Cockrum was a great artist and an imaginative writer, too. His Nightcrawler miniseries was a real delight.
Great deal on those British comics Mike. As others have said, they are not as common in the UK as you might think. Especially not in nice condition. The Lion, Valiant and June were published by Fleetway/IPC, the Hornet was a DC Thomson publication (the same people who do Beano and Dandy). Great video as well. It always interests me which titles you overlook when looking through the boxes. I would have jumped on those bronze age Sgt Rock, Stalker and Richie Rich comics, but you just passed them by. I guess those titles are very common in the US?
About 5 years ago,a booth shop in Princeton Indiana had 26 longs, I hadnt been into anything modern in some time. $1.25 a piece. I want to cry when I think of the massive keys i flipped through a thousand times.
Hi Mike, Nice find! As you guessed these British comics are not super valuable (probably between £2 and £3 each) but they're great fun, very popular in the 60s and early 70s, and you got a great deal, as they all look in good condition.
Great video Brother. I used to have the British Transformers mags and the British version of G.I.Joe mags(comic's) Thanks always for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😎👍♥️📚📚📚📚📚♥️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️✨️✨️💯💯💯💯💯✨️✨️✨️✨️
Ohhh I saw the reprint of Silver Surfer 1 F. Masterpiece issue 1. I was wondering if it was priced right or overpriced. That reprint is gaining in price!
Actually newsprint and paper of varying quality were standard and some issues of a comic could vary in size slightly as it depended whether the publisher could get a cheaper print price. Originally the comics were known as Comic Sets rather than comic strips because the illoes were drawn by the artist and then transferred to a wooden block that was cut out (wood cut) -engraved is more accurate and six blocks made up a page so were "comic sets" with text printed underneath.
Wow, I noticed over your left shoulder are not 1, but 2 awesome DC books I still don't have. I see first Deadman and first Silver Age Spectre. Also, great deal work on trading into your Xmen 1. (I still don't have Xmen 1 OR GSX 1 after all these years....) Wall is looking more powerful each video. #SilverAgeSucker
Mike, you definitely need to checkout Bill Willingham's Elementals and Nexus by Mike Baron/Steve Rude. You will not be disappointed. Two of my top 10 favorites of all time.
Phil Jiminez is an amazing artist. He has done work for both DC and MARVEL. His biggest influence is obviously George Perez. In fact he did a run on Teen Titans and X-Men.
The British comics aren't really called magazines, that's just a very general name, and I've never heard them called programmes (maybe someone saw that 2000AD is numbered as Progs rather than issue # like US comics and assumed it was a common term for them all). I have seen them referred to as comic papers however. Incidentally, The Beano first appeared in 1938, #4000 came out in 2019 and it's still being printed - quite an achievement. Here in Australia we find the odd issue of these UK comics second-hand; the oldest I have are issues of Lion from 1953. You should also have grabbed Alien Legion #1 and NOW Comics' The Terminator. #34, the final issue of the b/w Marvel Preview/Bizarre Adventures magazine, was actually in colour and comic book size. Go figure.
A good deal of the Spiders adventures were were written by Jerry Siegal. If your lion comic is before February 1969 it almost certainly is. Those UK comics are somewhat hard to find in the UK . Really you need to go to a specialist UK dealer. There not overly expensive but hard to find in descent condition. The paper stock is really rough. They are a good deal of fun. Girls comics always had a girls name. Judy , Jackie , Tammy the list is endless . Sales of these comics at the time were in the hundreds of thousands. And a weekly comic at that. Lots of times as well you would have had free gifts on the covers. Pins, Posters, Spud guns and little plastic model kits. It's interesting comparing to the American comic market at the time . Worlds apert. The American market was exotic with glossy covers and full colour art.
Weird how different ppl’s perspectives can be. For me, $10 - $20 is a very expensive comic, lol. All breaks down to how and what you collect, I guess. I get a little nauseous when contemplating a $5 comic, haha!
Some do sure, but I've found tons of great key issues at flea markets from people just selling old collections. Depends on the vendor and depends on the flea market, you don't know unless you look.
i bought that bizarre adventure 2 weeks ago, cool book. i paid $4 plus shipping so a bit more than you but i also bought 11 other books from the same seller, so the shipping per book wasnt bad.
Why don’t these vendors at flea markets lower their prices? Especially when stuff just sits? I don’t get it. They pay rent. Why not reduce the price and move Ed the stuff?!?!
Yeah, that’s why I don’t shop for comics at fleas. All I ever find are boxes and boxes of dollar comics, all with identical shiny new $5 price tags. Now, I guess if one is well versed in keys and such, it might be worth your time to go through them? I wouldn’t know a key if it slapped me in the face. I shop for readers. So flea markets are not for me.
that last strange adventure for $25 is about 5x too much in that condition. you can buy it RIGHT NOW for $5 in low grade on the ole fleaBay. ive been putting together that full run and i bought that same book 2-3 months ago in high grade for $14. i get it, that fleabay really kills the prices for local sellers cuz there is always 1-5 guys who bought a collection for cheap and will take pennies on the dollar but that makes it so much better for buyers. im a collector first but for last 3-4 months ive been selling on whatnot.

That Leonardo comic inspired a big scene in the 1990 TMNT movie but they replaced Leonardo with Raphael vs a large group of the Foot Clan
Hi Mike,am still here still watching and still loving ur content all the way from Birmingham uk.
I definitely like the voice over 👍
Neat finds, the antique mall near me have a ton of bronze Adventure Comics and Hulk but are terribly overpriced.

The voice-over is preferable to the music imo.
Valiant started in 1962 to 1976 and the first one is rare and your have to have rich taste and hotspur started in 1933 to around 1980s
Yes voiceovers are a thousand times better than the music
I swear all indoor flea market comic boxes have the same comics in them no matter where they are.
Have you ever thought about getting a body harness for your phone so that you can dig with both hands?
Yup, I have one that I've featured in recent videos. I just forgot to bring it this day.
@@lunchmoneycomics they aren’t the most fashionable thing hahaha but sure make digging easier
Looks like you skipped Alien Legion 1. That book is getting hot.
When you were going thru the boxes I thought I saw a alien legion #1
I thought I saw a copy of alien legion #1 I think there going to make a TV series or movie
i've never found an expensive book at a flea market yet. Just some cool covers and $10-$20 books.
98% of the population have smart phones, and can quickly check values. The days of finding crazy deals are about gone.
