Yum! One whole yard of Jaffa Cakes!
Buster was launched waaaay back in 1960, sub-titled 'The Son of Andy Capp'. I was lucky enough to pick up a collection of the earliest issues (#5 and above, there were 8 of them) for just £15! Within that bundle was the first ever Christmas issue from 1960! So sit back, get out your yard long pack of Jaffa Cakes and enjoy the beauty of this rare comic!
There could have been two christmas issues that year, as the issue following the one above went on sale on the 23rd December. At the end of the message below I think a better thing for Buster to have said would be "Don't delay! Do it TODAY!" instead of "Don't delay! Do it NOW!"
Another Christmas comic coming soon!

Jealous?
I earn my money dog walking for the neighbours ;) we were originally hoping to be paid $5 a week but they offered us $20!! (thats about £10)
I enjoy milky way, a really funny strip! If only these comics were still around!
Well - I now have a money box with money for Wham #1, so you can be jealous when you see me playing with the rubber band gun (or whatever it was) that came with it!
Looks like I just missed out on Issue #1 with Leo Baxendales signature on the cover :( It sold, along with a few other whams, for £93.
