Buster
Links
Another Buster Site
The world's second Buster site (inspired by this one) Paul's doing a great job.
Check out the first and last strips of great characters. Not just looking at
Buster, this site also takes into account Whizzer & Chips too. A true fansite
that covers many things this site doesn't!

Auction Sites
Ebay
The original auction site, always loads of Fleetway Memoribilia up here.
26 Pigs
With a name like 26 pigs, you'd be forgiven for assuming it's something to do with
Oink! But it isn't (as such). 26 Pigs is a cross between Fleetway Street and Ebay.
On one side you have the library, a resource of information covering comics such as
Buster, The Big One, Big Comic Fortnightly and all of the other Fleetway comics. On
the other side you have the auction, a chance to bid for comics and comic
memorabilia. But if you don't fancy bidding, you can just buy with thousands of
items available online at very reasonable prices. All in all, a top site for any
comic fan.
Scarce Comics
The latest addition to the world of comics, Scarce Comics is similar to 26 pigs
with a chance for you to buy comics somewhere other then Ebay. Lots of great
Fleetway stuff up there, pluss some DC Thompson for those of you who like the
lesser comics!

Other Comic Links
Comics UK
Comics UK is probably the most comprehensive comic site on the net. So much
work has gone into this site covering not just Fleetway comics, but everything else
as well! Extensive family trees, comic histories and just about every picture you
could ask for its well worth checking out. Comics UK is also responsible for the
inspiration and many of the comic cover scans for this site, and for that we are
truely grateful!
Fleetway
Street
This is the part of the Toonhound site dedicated to the Fleetway Empire. Fleetway
Street is another fantastic place to relive your memories. Covering School Fun,
Siver and Shake, Jackpot, Krazy, Whoopee!, Monster Fun, Wow and Whizzer and Chips,
Fleetway Street is also responsible for and archive of over a hundred strips that
cover the above plus Cor!! and Buster. Fleetway Street is also partly responsible
for the inspiration for this site, and again we are grateful!
British Comics
A fantastic site covering a wide range of comics including Fleetway. Nice history links, well
worth a visit!
The Book Palace
I've recently discovered this and it's great. You can find out more about Comics
and Annuals you are looking for, as well as special stuff, like The Buster Comic
Index I bought from Ebay recently. It's a great site for comic fans old and new,
and well worth a good look around.
Oink! Online
An online version of the Oink comic bringing back those memories of yesteryear. If
you wondered what all the fuss was about - go check it out!
Vintage Magazine
Archive
If you're trying to trace old comics, and having no luck on Ebay, then take a look
at these guys. There's lots to choose from, and not just Fleetway either. DC
Thompson and Marvel comics are also up for sale. They're happy to help with your
queries too, and can arrange appointments to help you trawl the archives. Well
worth checking out if you're serious about comic research.
Starscape
Comic
Thanks to Chris for letting me know about this. A Buster Classic the Leopard of
Lime Street is currently being reprinted in Starscape comic which launched in
December 2003. It is available to subscribers and as well as Billy Farmer's
adventures, all new characters appear, plus a strip written and drawn by Bob
Monkhouse. Worth checking out, it even has a Leopard of Lime Street Screensaver,
perfect for any Farmer Fans! Plus, Chris' own Comic Shop has original
Fleetway artwork for sale. At the time of checking Mummy's Boy and Chalky were up
for sale!!!

Lew Stringer
Lew was the man behind Tom Thug, the brainless bully who's had just about as many
trips to Blackpool as me! It's good to know Lew is still working in artwork,
currently working on Toxic comic and the Ronald McDonald magazine! Lew has also
visited our site and approves it. See the Guestbook for his comment!
J. Edward Oliver
JEO's official site, the creator of classics Mastermind, Cliff Hanger and Crazy
Maisie. This is the guy who bought Buster to a close in style! There's a fantastic
picture of JEO's comic work here too. When you get to the homepage, select the J
Edward Oliver link (far left), then JEO's other work, then comics. It's a
collaboration of all his work.

The artist of Skid Kidd in the mid 80s recently visited
this site. Now go visit his!

MCOMS
Fancy cheap webspace? MCOMS provided webspace for as little as £2.50 a
month. If you're setting up a site and don't have fortunes of cash, check them
out!
Woodham Writers
Group
Ok, nothing to do with Buster, which is why it's down here! The Woodham Writers
Group are a team of likeminded people who write stories and poems. Their site is
good if you want to test your writing skill with challenges for you to do. What's
more, it's run by the same Webmaster (yes that's how it got into a comic
website!).
