Set Description
Australian comics - CGC graded .
BOOFHEAD:
The Comical Capers of BOOFHEAD No. 1.
This is the first issue of a uniquely Australian comic hero from the 1960's.
A 'Boofhead' in the Australian vernacular is a person who is a nice bloke but bit of a fool or acts in stupid way or is "a sandwich short of a picnic" or "has a roo loose in the top paddock" or a "pea short of a pod".

BIGGLES:
Australian issues of "The Adventures of BIGGLES" of which I have nearly the first 20 issues, but I am only getting CGC graded the first 5 issues. Missing No. 5 and No. 12

There are two prices of the Australian (Sydney) printed issues of Biggles. 9d version printed in Sydney and sold locally in the Australian market. 6d version, printed in Sydney but exported to the UK for sale.

Other comics are either one-off or too few to have their own set.

Set Goals
To collect more unique Australian comics
