That's a little unfair I think. I'm not a comics geek but I know Ennis and Dillon's work; Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Dave McKean and especially Bryan Talbot. In fact - Dillon, McKean and Talbot have all worked on Judge Dredd - who originated in British comic 2000AD. If the RM were to truly want to celebrate modern British comic artists, then there's enough names to do at least a set of 6. Do we have to wait for Dredd's 50th anniversary in Spring 2017 though...<br /><br />On the subject of anniversaries - this set is loosely aligned to Wonder Woman's 80th anniversary yet no 10x character sheet for her? Batman may have more fans but there's a trick been missed here in the opportunity to possibly attract female fans?<br />Neil Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-88578384990052731992021-09-01T20:05:16.003+01:002021-09-01T20:05:16.003+01:00I do like miniature sheets.

They usually have the useful denominations on them so, after a while when I have looked at and enjoyed them, I stick them on letters or greetings cards for others to enjoy. Other advantages are that they are usually gummed; so easier to position on letters neatly; and the stamps are prettier than the ordinary commemorative sheets. The only drawback I see is that they are hard to find and explaining what it is that you seek several times to post office clerks can be trying. Post Offices which have the ordinary commemoratives often have no miniature sheets in stock. I shall not buy this one,not just because it is self adhesive but because I dislike having the stamps in different shapes.Lars Tådersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-52887743447144932472021-09-01T16:46:22.778+01:002021-09-01T16:46:22.778+01:00Septembers Philatelic Bulletin reveals the make up...Septembers Philatelic Bulletin reveals the make up of the Rugby Union Issue on 19/10/2021 on it's back page. 2x 2nd, 2x 1st, 2x £1.70 and 2x £2.55.

Star Trek, Star Wars, Marvel its my genre, so I'm not complaining, but there are times when British heritage and conservation should be honoured as well, bearing in mind this only happens once a year when we get swamped but something that is not British. I must admit there some anniversaries and events that have missed the boat this year, like 60 years of Euro Football championship and the Olympics and next month Rugby again.<br /><br />On a different note that's the 9th Miniature Sheet cover this year and we still have Rugby Union and Xmas to come. Some of these Miniature Sheet covers are just too much and not warranted.<br /><br />I shall await for a set of stamps covering kitchen sinks pencilled in for next year ha haMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069438236021408622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-69428096328711967992021-09-01T14:17:37.280+01:002021-09-01T14:17:37.280+01:00I think this will be a nice issue to use on my out...I think this will be a nice issue to use on my outgoing letters.
