I can remember where and when I first laid eyes on Hanna-Barbera's Fun Time #1 as if it were yesterday. 'Twas on the counter of W. & R. Holmes sometime near the end of October or beginning of November in 1972. I seem to recall being surprised to see that it 'incorporated' Yogi and His Toy, as that suggested Fun Time was a pre-existing comic instead of a new first issue. I guess I'd stopped buying that particular weekly by then otherwise I'd have known about Fun Time prior to seeing it on sale.
Anyway, I bought it, but goodness knows for how long. Did I purchase all 22 issues (according to one of Dennis Gifford's comics catalogues) or did I abandon it before then? Dunno to be honest, but the first cover always reminds me of Holmes, and in particular standing in front of that counter back in the day. That's why I bought a replacement recently on seeing it on ebay, so that I can once again enjoy the cool interiors of a much loved, much missed, long-gone shop from my childhood and teenage years - even if only in memory.
Any other Crivvies do that? Buy back issues simply to remind themselves of where they were when they bought the original, rather than because of the merits (if any) of the comic itself? If so, feel free to express yourselves in the you-know-where.
