Ken's Comic Book Channel
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 3 พ.ค. 2006
Welcome to my Channel! My name's Ken and I'm a British fella, based in the middle of England. I've been reading comics since I was 8 years old (back in '72).
Why such a simple name for the channel and not ‘KER-BLAM - The Captain America Channel’? .. because my comic interests cover not just capes, cowls and shields .. but Horror, Suspense and stories from the Atom Age.
I ‘do’ appreciate Captain America comics from all eras though. I collect Cap comics from all over the world.. and a little bit of whatever catches my eye. Hunting-down those foreign editions is painstaking work, but ultimately rewarding.
I'm also working on getting everything slabbed from Tales of Suspense #1 right through to the end of Kirby's run on Captain America.
I absolutely invite Comments and Suggestions. If there's something that catches your interest .. Please feel free to Like, Subscribe and Comment.
Pour yourself a beverage, sit down, choose some videos, buy me a coffee and (most of all) enjoy! 😎

Another awesome set of covers! I really enjoyed the Secrets of the Unknown covers and the Daredevil one. Thanks as always for sharing! Have a great day!
Thank you, Prime. As always, my pleasure to share. Have a great day!
Hi, Ken Nice selection of covers in Secrets of the Unknown! And Creepy Worlds too... great memories, great covers! Thanks a lot for the lovely video!
Thank you, as always; Elsa. Take care, m'dear.
Great covers Ken, Skymasters was the strip, Northern Soul weekend here in Blackpool so the place is bouncing, have a great week Ken.
Hiya, Rob! THANK YOU! Of course it was!! I’d have to watch my back if I came up to Blackpool just now 😂 Have a great week, Rob.
Enjoyed the class selection and bonus you showed one I’ve never seen thanks
Great stuff, Nicky! I’m really happy that you enjoyed it. Plenty more to come 👍
Fantastic covers Ken! Have a great day!👍✌️
Thanks, Sean! You too.
Well done my friend 🎉
Thank you, Ken!
Another great group of covers! I never get tired of seeing all of the cool artwork. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
Thanks very much for your lovely comment. Have a great day!
Some very clean looking copies Ken
Cheers, Mark!
A nice selection of covers ken, good luck with the scan mate, have a great week
Cheers, Rob. Apart from the remnants of this 'orrible cold, I'm feeling flippin' fantastic. Have a great week.
Happy Halloween Ken. As I sit here and watch your video it is snowing rather heavily. I don’t think it will stay which is fine with me. New furnace this winter season. Hopefully it will work just fine. Jess. PS. That last one is a doozy. Best wishes.
Cheers, Jess. It’s early evening here on Halloween, we haven’t got snow; but we have got a roaring fire blazing away. Big love to the pup 💕
Ken what size mylars and backing boards you using The comics look beautiful
Hi, Tom. Thank you. I use Half-Backs for the backing boards and GA Mylar sleeves.
Ken there’s covers that I still love after seeing them 40 years ago Still chills me every time I see them. Take care
Thank you, Tom. Timeless covers, for sure.
The Nick Fury cover is by Frank Springer (with Fury's face allegedly redrawn by Barry Windsor-Smith) and not Steranko.
Thank you, Morten.
Striking covers popping in the mylar ken, happy anniversary to you and your good lady,hope you both have a great weekend Ken .
Cheers, Rob! I hope you're keeping well. Blackpool calls!
Creepy Worlds 84 is one of my fave Wally Wood layouts
Gorgeous, isn’t it? 🥰
Great set of Alan Class! The magazines were pretty cool and different. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
Thank you, Prime_Comics. Yes, very cool and different. Very British '70's. Have a great week!
Hi, Ken! Awesome video, didn’t know Ally Sloper came from nineteen century… amazing , your stories! Thanks a lot. 👏✨
Thank you, Elsa! Very 'of it's time' .. even originally that would be in the Victorian era. Thank you, as always; for commenting, Elsa.
Sounds good Ken cannot wait to see
Thank you, Tom.
I really like the Ally Sloper run - Alan taking a risk with new material rather than just re-printing US comics - it's a shame it didn't work - I think it was too backward looking rather than publishing more of the "modern" comic talent that was around at the time.
I think you've hit the nail on the head, Mark.
I loved Garth. It was published in Portugal in the CM newspaper when I was a kid, but it also appeared in the Mundo de Aventuras comic anthology in the 60s and 70s. Although it was less classic, I always preferred the Frank Bellamy version.
Hey, Paulo! I LOVED Garth as a kid. Always read the newspaper strips.
GREAT books as usual Ken, yes I love those Ally Sloper mags so happy to see you highlight them, looking forward to the new format, have yourself a great week mate.
Thanks, Rob. It's hard to collect them in good quality, as the magazine size, thickness of paper didn't hold-up to being kept pristine. All the best to you, Rob. Catch you soon.
Garth appeared in the Daily Mirror.
Thanks, Brian!
Great Stuff Ken. It’s football weather finally. Me and the pup have been playing a good deal of football (American) between the raking of leaves. Take care! Jess. And yes it is good to be alive. Looking forward to the Mylar format.
Thanks, Jess! Great to read of your antics with the pup 💕 Always warms the heart.
Another fantastic set of Alan Class! Always a joy to see! Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
Thanks, Prime_Comics. Have a great week!
Cool covers and interiors Ken! Have a great day!👍✌️
Thanks, Sean. You too, my friend 👍
Cheers, Rob. Sooo true, as you look at the black and white pages in the Alan Class issues (with nothing marred by colour), it certainly gives a clearer indication between Ditko and Kirby’s techniques. Wonderful! Definitely gives more appreciation of those two greats (even more). CT scan went fine, just awaiting the results of my PSA test and then a few weeks later the CT scan. Onwards and upwards 😃 Have a great weekend, Rob.
Onwards and upwards mate, have a good weekend.
Hi Ken, great selection again mate, yeah I think when you look at the evolution of the Kirby artwork compared to the evolution of Ditko over the years the main factor for me is that Kirby had lots of different inkers with their own style where Ditko did a large percentage of his own inking , have yourself a good weekend mate , hope everything went well with the scan etc this week and looking forward to next week with great anticipation after that teaser.
SHOW THE BOOK
WATCH THE VIDEO
Hi, Ken! It's really great comic book art, as you say! I don't know if I prefer the story or the art...
Thanks, Elsa. It's a difficult one, isn't it? Have a great week.
Wonderful issues this week Ken, fantastic covers and great contents , magical books, have yourself a great weekend Ken,continue to take care.
Thank you, Rob! Have a great weekend yourself. CT scan on the 9th. Yipee!
@@kenwuk Good luck with that one Ken, my thoughts will be with you.
Very nice.like I said wish they came out in hardback
Thanks, Rob. Me too!
Hello my friend
Hello, Ken San. Hope you are well.
@@kenwuk all good
Another awesome round of Alan Class! Great covers and loved the art on the Strange One! Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
Thank you, Prime_Comics! Have a great day!
Hello, Ken! The Astounding stories covers are so good! What a collection... Thanks for another wonderful video!🙂
Thank you, Elsa. I always enjoy reading your comments .. they cheer me up all the time 🌹
Another Classy video Ken ( pun intended 😀), yes like you say there was always something about the Alan Class books that made it worth the entrance fee, sorry to hear about your struggles with the blood sugar mate, it's something I have to watch like a hawk myself in fact I am sat here with my reading glasses watching this on the tablet, anyway Ken have a good weekend mate .
Thanks, Rob. .. we could be mirror-images of each other. I’ve managed to bring my eye test forward a week .. I can’t stand going on like this .. fingers-crossed it’s not glaucoma 👀 I NEED to be able to read. I’ll keep everyone posted, meanwhile ,. have a great week ahead, mate.
@@kenwuk I am sure you will be good mate, have a good week.
That Astounding Stories with the rocket cover is one of my favorites
Mine too, Mark! It’s a stunner 👍
Cool covers Ken! Thanks for the show and have a great day!👍✌️
Thanks, Sean! Have a nice day! 👍
😊 thank you. Just discovered under sea agent ran for 6 issues . And thunder agents. Any plans to do these ? Thanks
Hi, Rob! Luckily, Thunder Agents stories ran through quite a few Alan Class comics issues, but it's a mixed-batch .. you never know where you're going to find them. No plans for Undersea Agent.
Awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing
Thankyou sooooo much. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Very nice books Ken, yes I admit it I am a SNIFFER lol, have a great weekend mate.
Thanks, Rob. We're the best kind of people. Have a brill weekend, mate.
Cheers Ken - Don’t like Queen ! Flash - Savior of the Universe 😊
Hey, Mark! I’ll take Buster Crabbe anyday 😁
Dam ! Ok then . Uncanny tales . What are the hardest ones to get ?
Just pick-up the onesthat you can find .. Go for the cheapest first. The harder ones will make themselves known by their absence. This might help. Copy and paste the url into your browser .. www.kenworthing.com/AlanClass.html
Another good selection of Class always enjoyable thank you
Thank you, Nicky!
Thanks for reply. 😍 you must be expert. Me not bothered who inked . Just like reading. So you run this shop ? If so do you have mail list ? Thank you
Hi, Rob. No problem at all (I try to reply to every comment posted). I'm sorry to say, I don't run any shop.
Nice covers and interiors Ken! Thanks for the show and have a great day!👍✌️
Thanks, Sean. Have a great day too, Sir.
😊 just found you! Been collecting for week. Which should l collect first ? Uncanny got most !! Also did these ever come out in book form ? Thank you . Have subbed. Been buying from ebay but rip off on postage packing .. Thank you
Hi, Rob. Thanks for subbing. No, these never came out in book form. You can buy dodgy CD's with scans of the books from eBay for a couple of £/$ .. but who wants to read their comics that way? I'm majoring on collecting all of the 'Amazing Stories of Suspense' run (15 x issues to source). If you've got a large amount of the 'Uncanny' run .. Go for it!
Another awesome set of Alan Class! Some very cool covers and always a joy to see Ditko art. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
Thank you, PC! Have a great rest of your weekend.
Some great covers Ken and Ditko weaving his pencil like a magic wand across the pages of the good doctor, have a great weekend mate,
Cheers, Rob. I think you've just made the most perfect description of Ditko's magic pencil that I've ever read. Have a great rest of your weekend, mate.
Hi, Ken! Great creepy covers... that hidden Marvel Dr. Strange is great... Thanks for the video!👍
Thank you, Elsa. Yes, that Dr.Strange was lovely and unexpected.
I used to have one of these. Nice channel.
Thank you, Mark.
