An offshoot of the old South West Comic Collectors Club, the All Devon Comic Collectors Club, which closed its doors in 2016, was mainly centred on the Exeter area, searching for prime quality images for the (complete) British story booklets that is their raison d’etre.
The desire of elder members to see old newspaper strips again, linked with the poor quality of the yellowing photocopies that were doing the rounds, provided the impetus for the club to decide to track down and reprint ‘lost’ Garth strips. A search for other British titles naturally followed, including good quality prints of Romeo Brown, Paul Temple etc.
Former co-ordinator Dave Westaway (who died in 2014) had been searching for Matt Marriott strips for some time. Artist Tony Weare produced what is generally considered the most authentic Western stories in black/white for over 22 years from 1955-1977. Never reprinted in the UK, the club eventually managed to track down the recipient of much of his artwork through his estate and have purchased 15 of his original scrapbooks, each with one story in sequence, from the third story onwards.
Although these are newspaper clippings rather than printers proofs the results are still quite acceptable. In addition several other stories have been bought in, taken directly from original artwork. The first two stories in the series were reprinted in 1960 in Knockout.
The club also gained access to artist Jim Holdaway‘s Romeo Brown printers proofs – a club member tells me the original artwork was all destroyed by a managing director who didn’t find them funny – and also gained permission to reprint the Carol Day strips for the first time.
As a small club and having restraints from Mirror Group (now “Reach”) as to how many copies per title could be made available to members, they tended to struggle with their cash flow a bit so relaxed membership to allow ‘remote’ members in. The group put out 10 booklets a year to full members of which at least six were reprints of Garth. John Dakin was among those involved in handing orders.
In 2011, running of the club passed to Paul Trotter, editor of the i-monthly Newspaper Strip Gazette, as Dave Westaway was no longer able to continue his duties with the ADCCC.
Sadly, the closure of the ADCCC and the Newspaper Daily Comic Strip Library was announced in January 2016 after Paul was diagnosed with a terminal illness.
“Between 2010 and 2015 it has been a joy to be a part of reproducing these forgotten comic strips from newspapers and visiting the British Library in London to track down missing strips or stories,” said Neal Trotter. “My Dad’s dedication and enthusiasm has been paramount throughout and we will sorely miss sharing your interest in the adventures and tales of these comic-book characters.”
The ADCCC booklets published are anything between 20-40 pages usually carrying one complete story and their aim with Garth was to reprint all stories from 1943 up to about 1975/76.
We last updated this list back in 2011, but in 2026, collector Bill Thom provided a more detailed list to John M. Burns expert Colin Brown; our thanks to both of them for their help improving this resource.
We have also added information on some other resources for some of the strips that the ADCCC reprinted and their creators.
