In the 1960s,when it was "hit or miss" as to what
title your local newsagents [in my case,Mina Road had Jarman's -a shop with a
glass fronted cabinet displaying toy soldiers and a rotating rack with comics!]
might carry,there was was one publisher who offered us a mix of
Atlas,Charlton,Marvel and other publishers' strips....
....ALAN CLASS!
Yes,you could find the Silver Surfer,Avengers or even
Daredevil intermixed with Captain Atom,Mercury Man,the Mysterious
Traveller,Charlton war and horror as well as science fiction. I don't think it occurred to us at the time
that these characters came from different companies!
For a 1/- [5p] I had a good read on the long bus trip to Weston-Super-Mare in Summer-time. My gran and grand-dad weren't stupid -they
knew comics would keep a restless kid in check!
One that always stuck in my mind was Paul Reinman drawn "THE LAST
PATROL!" [Sinister Tales no.208];as I studied history and,for my own
comics work,uniforms,I was amazed at Reinman's uniform accuracy!
Bristol Bus Station was the best place to pick up copies,but that was on day trips. Normally,Jarman's or a dark little newsagents
in Sussex Place,where
I got my Plastacine,would have copies.
Americans say to me:"But it's all in black and
white!!" I say "so what?"
Most weekly comics,or titles such as The Purple Hood,Miracleman,etc., were in black and white in the UK! My brother,Peter,may have argued with me as
to which was best -Marvel [my choice] or DC [his]- but we both read Class!
From the 1960s to the 1980s,Class published his titles,some
strips reprinted in other titles later on,but it wasn't until the late 1970s
when Marvel realised it's weekly comics were being out-done that they stopped
Class from reprinting their strips!
After all:weekly comic =a US comic broken into one part each week
over,say,two months,but Class =full story in one issue....for less money!!
When I corresponded with Alan in the 1980s,after Denis
Gifford put me in touch with him,he noted the distribution problem. He was delivering 1000 or so copies to
W.H.Smith to distribute but after complaints that the titles were not appearing
in shops,he discovered the copies had been sent away for
shredding/pulping! Even placing an
order with W.H.Smith was no guarantee that you'd get a copy -just your deposit
back!
Of course,in the 1970s,Alan co-published the ALLY SLOPER
"Nostalgicomic" and even a "Penny Comics of the Thirties"
collector's set with comic historian Denis Gifford.
I think that it was a sad day when Alan Class stopped
publishing his titles. But the question remains -does his re-printing
agreements with companies still hold?
Unless you were a kid in the 1960s/1970s,you'll never
understand the nostalgia of seeing these titles.
Hopefully, I'll be able to add the contents of other issues
to this site once acquired.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON PRICING!
Class Comics have suddenly become "collectible"
according to certain sources, however, they were printed in their thousands.
I have seen issues offered for sale at £10,£15 and even £30
-do not buy them at this price! It is
also claimed that "pre-decimal currency" issues will set you back
more and, although no. 1s should set you back about £5 if you really want them,
the average price of purchasing these comics should be between £1.50 to £2.00
for the rarer ones.
As an example: Astounding Stories no.8, from a dealer who
knows his stuff -and this is a
pre-decimal 1/- issue- for £1.50. Sinister Tales no. 54 [1/-],again, set me
back....£1.50. Sinister Tales no. 75
[1/-] cost me £1.50. These are all
pristine, good as new copies.
There is absolutely no reason to pay above these prices
-many 1940s/1950s comics from the UK do not go above the £3.00 value
mark. Of course, if you do pay large sums it simply encourages dealers to keep
pushing up prices on comics which, for years, they would not even consider
stocking because they were, to quote a shop owner, "cheap tat".
Pay proper prices and refuse to artificially boost prices.
YES! I WILL BE CLASS COMICS!!
I am, obviously, open to buying Class Comics. I'll buy slightly damaged copies at 50p each.
Other ranges of quality I'll pay the accepted dealer price of £1.50 or £2.00
for the rarer issues.
Of course, if comics are to be sent via the postal system I
will pay the postage.
Let me know what you have and if interested I will send, by
mail, a letter quoting price agreed, etc.. A cheque covering postage and the
agreed amount will be sent immediately upon receipt -having been ripped off by
sending money in advance and getting nothing I have had to adopt this
procedure.
You can contact me at the usual e-mail address.
hoopercomicsuk@yahoo.com
You might get a bit bored with this but...as usual, I have
tried to identify the artist[s] and
company. I may get things wrong so if
you have any of the issues mentioned and care to correct me please do!
If you have issues not mentioned here and can provide
details -get in touch!

The good thing about Alan Class comics was that (as you said) there was a lot of mixed reading material that would keep a kid occupied for ages. Unfortunately, the later '70s copies suffered from being printed from worn plates where the blacks were washed out. I must add some to my own meagre collection - I only have about a dozen.
ReplyDeleteI'll tell ya, Kid -per copy Alan was paying his printer 11p! Sadly, the printers were not that conscientious about their work -just as W H Smith used to have the books delivered and not put them on shelves...they'd send them to pulp!
