The latest sale from eBay comic auction house Phil-Comics features plenty of first issues of some vintage British comics, some with free gifts, and, as usual, the vast majority starting at 99p with no reserve.


Items include a copy of 2000AD Prog 1, which arrived in newsagents today back in in 1977. The official on sale date was Monday 21st February, but it actually came out on Saturday 19th. Lew Stringer has a run through of the issue here on his Blimey blog).
The auction includes more girls titles complete with their original scripts, which have attracted strong bidding in past auctions, and two pages of art by the brilliant Robert Nixon.
Here’s a few of the great British comics and comic lots on offer.
