One for the Gamers

Not comics related but I thought I'd mention that I'm selling an original Game Boy console from 1989, boxed and with the Tetris game and all the extras etc. in the original packaging. Excellent condition and working. I bought this decades ago brand new just for my own entertainment but didn't use it a great deal.

Auction ends tomorrow, Sunday 9th August. Good luck if you're bidding!

My clients include IPC, Marvel Comics, Egmont, Panini, D.C. Thomson, Rebellion and many others, covering the comics field from originated characters to licensed properties, pre-school to adult on comics such as BUSTER, OINK!, BEANO, DANDY, TRANSFORMERS, SONIC THE COMIC, TOXIC, VIZ, CiTV TELLYTOTS, LEGO ADVENTURES, HERMAN HEDNING, SWEET FA, ACTION FORCE, SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN, RAMPAGE, LUCKY BAG COMIC, SWIFTSURE, WARLOCK, WHITE DWARF, ACES WEEKLY, THE DAREDEVILS, THE MIGHTY WORLD OF MARVEL, and many more.
