Crikey! 1-9 are £3.99 (post free), Crikey! 10-12 are £4.99 (also post free). SS 1 is £3.99 (post free). SS2 is available via on-line PDF's. Again go to the Crikey! website for full details.
No excuses now!!!

Can you pay by Paypal? I only just joined up on E.Bay to it! I have posted to Tony £16 cheque for issues 4, 5 & 7 but if Paypal is Ok for other back issues, could try that!

PayPal's fine, Alan. Much simpler, in fact!

Do you know if many of the issues of Crikey are available on PDF? I would love to get some, but I can't get Yudu to give me any real information. I don't mind paying, I just want something tangible.

Well, Glenn (GBF) still has back issues of most f the original paper copies. Is that tangible enough?

Drop him an email if you're interested...

He emailed me off the boards, I'll have to get back to him on that. I'd like them, I just have to figure out what I can afford. I live in the US so shipping won't be cheap. But, I think it'll be worth it.

Thanks!

I couldn't comment on that, as I'm in no position to be objective...

The shipping cost, or the quality? I'm sure they're high quality, that's why I want them!

Well, the shipping cost can vary tremendously depending on the method used-though I doubt you'd want to wait the several weeks that surface mail can take to the US from here...

I don't think the wait would bother me. I have enough reading material to tide me over, and they'll still be good when they get here. I may get at least some next paycheck.

Are back issues of Crikey still available? And if so, can they be shipped to The Netherlands?

That would be a"yes" to both questions. Over to you, GBF...?

Yep - all hard copy back issues are available except # 2,#4, #6 & #11.

All hard copy issues are B&W, 52 pages unless stated.

Issues 1,3,4,5,6,7,8 (52 pages, full colour),9 will cost £3.99 each
Issues 10,12 (84 pages, full colour),13,14,15,16 will cost £4.99 each

Issues 2,4,6 & 11 (84 pages, full colour) on disk for £2.99 per issue

The Crikey! Special #1 (130 pages in full colour, disk only) is £2.99
The Crikey! Collected #1 (disk only) is £2.99

Super-Spies & Secret Agents issue 1 is £3.99
Super-Spies & Secret Agents issue 2 (on disk only but 40 pages, full colour) is £1.99.

I'd need to find out how much postage is, but Airmail will be expensive and surface takes longer.

Failing that you could have everything on disk, but I'd need to work that price out.

Let me know your intentions!

I intend to get all hard copies that I can, supplemented with digital for those out of print.

Surface mail wouldn't be prohibitive, although I might opt for airmail if the difference is slight.

Thanks, guys!

Let me get back to you regarding all costs. I'll get surface and airmail and then you can decide.

Thanks!

Hello Tony and GBF, I would like to buy hard copy of back issues that are Pat Mills related except #12 (as a comic writer, a comic editor or a Crikey contributor).
Also I will also take The Crikey! Special #1 (130 pages in full colour, disk only) is £2.99. What is the content of The Crikey! Collected #1 (disk only) ?
There will be additional shipping costs for I leave in France.
Thanks in advance for a response!

Hi Vark - many thanks for the inquirey. I'll check everything out and let you know soonest...

Hello GBF, do you have received my response through Hotmail (sent October 19th) ?

Just replied to your private email, Monsieur Vark...

Bit late in the day, but a huge fan of underated UK comics scene and have just found out about this late magazine. By any chance are there any back issues still avaible (rather get them from the source, than try to search them out on ebay). Many thanks for time and help (hard copy or digital)

There are indeed! Sadly not all are still available, but most are.

Hi again Tony, have you received then any updated info (the list by GBF quoted below is from a very old answer to user ramonshenk, a name I seem to remember from magazine Alter Ego or maybe Charlton Spotlight too?!? ) by GBF about hard copy and disk only Crikey! back issues still available, with shipping cost (to mainland Europe too ) ?

I've sent GBF a message asking him to respond directly, so hopefully he'll be along shortly...

Has somebody heard from old GBF about Crikey back issues? I was interested too in (at least) three issues I did not buy at time from Ace Comics (maybe Special Issues weren't even offered at all for sale by them at time) and so still I don't own...

Which issues are you after? I've no back issues left myself, but I know GBF still has copies of several issues.

Hi Tony, nice to be here again after some time,
I'd say the issues were:

- Super-Spies & Secret Agents issue 2 (on disk, nr. 1 was published on paper and I ordered it, as far as I can remember...) ;
- The Crikey! Special #1 (130 pages in full colour, disk only) @ £ 2.99;
- The Crikey! Collected #1 (disk only) is £2.99.

So as I see from the list above, issues 2, 4, 6 and 11 on disk have 32 pages more than the paper issues, am I right on this?

I...think I'll have to do some checking with Glenn...

Thanks for your help Tony, no problem, I'll wait as much time is needed...!

OK, to clarify: the wording is confusing. The first nine issues were 52 pages, from #10 it went to 84.

By the way, since today is GBF (Crikey magazine original founder ) birthday, while waiting for his answer to come here I have thought it was nice to celebrate him in this topic, so Happy B-Day GBF, wherever you are in this times!
