Says complete, but I'm sure all the collectors out there will spot which issue is missing!

[Susan Webster]

Are the magazines still available

[pete9012S]

Hi Sue!
Those magazines were on sale back in 2021 - here's some currently for sale on ebay today:

Alas, will I ever get my hands on a copy of the pilot issue?

[pete9012S]

Yes, my thoughts exactly Ice_Gemz! - The pilot issue always seems tantalisingly out of reach..

Issue Pilot. Gutenberghus. 1985.
FIVE ON KIRRIN ISLAND (illustrated by Barrie Mitchell)
(30 pages) (Picture Strip)

All issues were adapted by Gail Renard and Les Lilley.

[Trashman]

Does anybody know how many copies of the pilot issue were printed?
Other than a picture of the cover on Comic Haus I've never seen it anywhere.

[pete9012S]

Well that's a very good question Trashman.

I suspect Tony might have a copy. If Katharine has it, I'll bet a packet of fish fingers she can't quite put her hands on it.

I haven't got it. Even a scan or pdf of this elusive pilot issue would do me.

Have I missed anyone out? Does any of our esteemed collectors here have a copy?

[pete9012S]

P.S.
Have you seen this article Trashman?

Ha ha - you know me so well.

I believe I did purchase some kind of 'modern' Enid Blyton magazines several years ago, but am ashamed to say I can't remember what they were, or were they would be.

For at least a year now, I've been trying to find my copy of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - if I can't find a great big book like that, then I've no hope with a few flimsy magazines.

If/when I come across them I'll let you know - assuming I can remember who wanted to know about them.

Oh, and Pete - please you make those gluten free fish fingers?

[pete9012S]

Ha ha!

I'll give you till the end of 2024 to see if you can find the mag Katharine,
then it's fish finger time!!

[Anita Bensoussane]

I have the pilot copy, though it has been put away in a box. I bought it from eBay years ago, together with several other issues.

It's good to know that John Ridgway, one of the artists, enjoyed his work. He says he was informed that the magazine "would be published internationally, but the continental editions would contain an additional Secret Seven story in black and white." Does anyone have any continental editions, and do they each contain a Secret Seven story?

[pete9012S]

Wow, great to hear you have a copy Anita.
Could be a great investment if you ever decide to flog it!

Continental editions!
The plot thickens. Wonder if Tony knows the answer about the possible Secret Seven content?

Wonder how much this set currently for sale will eventually go for - no pilot issue, sadly!
