Article: British Comics Stamps
Posted: March 16, 2012
The Royal Mail is issuing a set of ten stamps celebrating British comics on March 20th 2012, each showing a much-loved character with a cover of the comic they appeared in behind them. Here’s the cover-featured four-page article I was asked to write about these for the March issue of The British Philatelic Bulletin, Volume 49, Number 7, under the title ‘High jinx and spiffing fun!’ and illustrated here with images from the original artwork and comics. To discover much more about British comics, be sure to check out my profusely illustrated, oversized book with Peter Stanbury, Great British Comics: A Century of Ripping Yarns and Wizard Wheezes.
