The latest Phil-Comics auction on eBay will interest collectors who grew up in the 1970s, with a full set of Action (1976-77) on offer, and the first 250 issues of 2000AD too (1977-), with free gifts for Progs 1-3, plus an array of comics, annuals and free gifts to boot.
Head to www.ebay.co.uk/str/philcomics for the full catalogue, but here are a few highlights. The auction starts to close this Sunday, 16th October 2022.
There’s just one artwork, artist unknown, a two-page spread from a Rolling Stones-inspired strip published in Valentine, cover dated 20th June 1964. “Come On” is from the Jim Baikie Collection.
Run by Phil Shrimpton, Phil-Comics specialises in vintage comics and related items such as annuals, holiday specials, free gifts and original artwork.
Holding monthly eBay auctions, often with a huge number of listings, they aim to bring a diverse array of items – and are always on the lookout for vintage comic collections, either to buy or auction on commission.
