UPDATED: Comics reference books of Ray Moore

My look at comic reference books has, to date, covered a number of authors such as...

Lofts & Adley is here
Alan Clark is here 
Dennis Gifford is here 
David Ashford is here
Martin Hamer is here
Colin Morgan is here
Steve Holland is here

Now it's the turn of Ray Moore...again there may be 'variant' editions out there of these books which I've excluded (for now) but I'd still be interested in seeing them. These exist because they've been (re)printed a few times over the years.

Update for this post - the 2nd volume of the Dandy index

The Dandy monster index 1937-1990 by Ray Moore

Here's a 'solo' volume 1 of the index

Here's the 'solo' volume 2 of the index (which only goes up to 1985, so that first image, above, since it goes up to 1990 means that it's a slightly updated version of the first two versions).



Topper tales by Ray Moore

The Beano diaries by Ray Moore
Info. on stories published up until the end of 1989. Saw a set on ebay that mentioned they were from an edition of 281 copies.

The Magic index by Ray Moore

The book of the Beezer by Ray Moore

Magic comic #1 flyer

Here's a rare survival...a flyer for issue #1 of DC Thomson's Magic comic. 

Issue 1 of Magic was dated 22nd July 1939 - so we can date this flyer to just before then...


This was recently up for sale on ebay right here - the eBay final bid price was £76
