How many comics? - October 11 & 12 1975

This spread (to be found in My 1975 Diary 2025 Calendar, on sale still) shows me buying how many comics? By my reckoning I bought thirteen in a day. Buster and Vulcan are the Brit weeklies I'm still getting at this time, a jumble sale turns up a Beezer annual and a Whoopee, then there's my weekly Planet Of The Apes (two issues), Avengers and Superheroes, and I top it off with newsagent purchases of two US Marvels (Ka-Zar and Man-Wolf), two Atlasses (Ironjaw & Planet Of Vampires), and a DC (Superman Family).

Not only am I buying them, I'm producing my own. Quite how "A Star Is Born", "Battle For The Planet Of The Apes", and "In Days Of Old" turned out I have no memory, but to have three comic strips on the go at one time is quite something. Ironically, at time of writing this fifty years later, I find myself in a similar position, with four Shakespeare books all in a half finished state.

My Records For The Day are two stone cold classics which I still love today
