leigh kitchen Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Anyway, I picked up some photos & ephemera a couple of days ago, amongst them wwas this sticker booklet, colourful, but I would'nt have bothered had I looked at it & noticed theat some of the medal stickers have been torn off. There you go, that's the trouble with letting kids have these comics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrontlineAntiques Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Awesome! I was born too late (1982) to read these the first time round, but i can remember rifling through my older brother's belongings to pinch his copies of Warlord in the late 80s! Great post Leigh Dan :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leigh kitchen Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 It's not apparent from the scans, but the medal discs or crosses etc are of a shiny, thin card, theyhad to be pressed from the sheet they were printed on, dampened & stuck down in place: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Ahh! That brings back memories. Do you have the badge book as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh kitchen Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 No, Warlord passed me by, I just found this booklet in a curio shop a few days ago, pity a few of the "medals" are missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
