I decided to look for refs. to Curly Wee in Google and came upon this discussion. I was an avid reader of that comic strip too. Each year we had an annual and I remember one called 'Curly Wee and the Golden Galleon'. Does anyone remember the year of that annual or have any other info about who wrote the strip and whether it continued elsewhere after The Mail closed down?

Hi Alex,
I think the Curly Wee annual you are refering to is "The Sunken Galleon" and I think it may be from 1952. This annual also contained two other stories- "The Rabbits at the Grand Hotel" and "Curly Wee and Pointed Fang". The cover shows Curly riding a grey horse.I do have this one and four others. Some were printed by the Madras Mail. Others were printed by The Liverpool Echo and The Irish Mail. The author was Maud Budden and the illustrator was Roland Clibborn. These annuals are now getting very hard to find. I hope this helps you.

Is curly wee a british comic?

[Oldposts]

Hi,
Curly wee started as a newspaper strip comic in the Liverpool Echo paper England. It was also printed in the Irish Mail Dublin and the Madras Mail India. Once a year a annual was produced. This usually contained three full length stories in colour(unlike the newspaper black & white stories). This annual was a hardback with coloured front and rear cover illustrations. I hope this is of use tou you, Dave.

Thanks Dave.

One question: I assume you are British. But how did you get to know so much about the Madras Mail? Just curious

Hi V,
I was born in India in 1944, in the south,and stayed there until 1954. I then went to Karachi in Pakistan for a year before coming to England where I have been ever since. I have always been interested in comics, both British and US and I have quite a nice collection at present, though I have had to thin it down considerably over the past ten years due to the lack of space.

Dave,

If you are a comic lover try and visit the usenet newsgroup news://alt.binaries.pictures.comics . You will find a lot of like minded people there. They even swap comic books online! You may be able to find news of comics you are interested there.

Also if you do IRC, try logging in to newnet IRC and join the channels #comicbooks and #hacsa. Lot of people swap online digital versions of old comics like spiderman etc.
