American Comics.

A Memory of Corby.

I believe that this photo has been snapped from what used to be the original bus station in Corby New Town. I have childhood memories of getting off the 32 bus and running into the market from the station. I always had urgent business in those days that demanded maximum haste such as getting to Woolworths to buy an Airfix model. The market was always busy. I remember one stall that sold American comic books. They were always popular with us kids. For sixpence you could buy the latest Bat Man or Spider Man edition. The stories were great but best of all was the sheer Americanism of the comics. Zip codes and priced in cents.
