I have a good few from the 1950s -mainly Amalgamated Press and a “good few” from the 1960s up to the 1990s.
When it comes to my speciality field of Gerald Swan I have around 42 albums from 1942 onward.
I have two Bonzo annuals and two Steve The Horse (“Come On Steve”) books.
Just counted and excluding Swan I have around 300 comic annuals.
WHY are you so nosy?? 🙂
So there is my answer.
This does not include trade paperbacks, graphic novels, Titan Books, Dark Horse or other publishers hard/softcover books that probably total well over 400.
