Here are the scans I’ve recently completed of the penny dreadfuls in my collection so far.

They were originally on my academia.edu page but I’m moving them here as I find that website a bit slow and “fiddly” at times.

This post will therefore be updated as and when I have the time to upload them, though I usually try to do one per week.

Enjoy!

  8. Stephen – it’s a great pleasure to see your photo, and to be able to thank you so much for making these things available to everyone. The Lady you met was obviously a very interesting person – I hope you have kept in touch with her! How good things survive and pass along… all from kindness.
    Kind regards to you & her – Ruth R

    • Thank you very much Ruth! Yes indeed she was a lovely lady. Goes to show you never know what treasures some elderly people are hiding away! I’m planning London visit to the BL in July so I’ll try and arrange to meet with you then. Best-Steve
