Those 2/- stamps on the Silver Surfer covers sent a lightning bolt of nostalgia straight through my heart. I still remember buying those 68-page Silver Surfers, or at least n=most of them, from a stall in a street market in Aberdeen some summer Friday in the early seventies. Spent all the money I had, walked all the way home and back for more money, then spent some more money.
ReplyDeleteGreat days. David Simpson
Thanks for commenting, David. I remember, also in the early '70s, you could still buy brand-new, pristine issues of the Surfer (from about #8 up) from spinner-racks in shops in Blackpool. That was around '73-'74, and there were still Kirby issues of the FF to be had as well. 1974 was the last time I was there, so for all I know, you might still have been able to get them for years after that. It was like going back in time. Great days indeed.
