Hi Ross, we'll start with the official greeting:

Next up, where in the world are you? Generally ebay would be your best bet for individual issues of the UK comic, try ebay.co.uk as opposed to ebay.com as they are mostly available from UK rather than US sellers. Be careful with individual issues though, UK news agents in the eighties were in the habit of writing the sirname of people that they were reserving papers or comics for on the covers and this obviously makes them less valuable/desirable. Some specialty comic shops will have a few issues but this probably means more legwork than a straightforward online order.

If you want collected editions Titan Books put out most of the UK material in book form a few years back and these should still be fairly widely available online. Let me know if these collected versions would be acceptable to you and I'll post a list of the titles of the various volumes so you know what you're looking for.

There was a guy who sold a Unicron on ebay that had as an extra the complet run of the UK comics on a CD! He had quite a few autions so he may still do them!
So yea try ebay

One problem I've found with buying old comics on eBay is that they smell like attic.

Unfortunately, not ALL the UK comics have been reprinted, and some may never be so, due to clearance reasons. For stories such as "The Wrath of Grimlock", "Raiders of the Last Ark" etc. the only way to get these is either a) in the original issues themselves, or b) on the complete collection CD that's been floating about ebay.

I have a copy of the CD version myself (4 disks, also includes the american issues). Feel free to PM me if you want a copy for free (just send me some blank discs and postage, etc).
