In the following list we tried to present fanpages of comic characters.
They don't allways show comic toys, but at least give you some background
on the characters. This category also contains seller pages that primarily
concentrate on one specific item; other seller toy sites can be found at
Antique Toys. Most of the pictures shown below
are from items of our own collection of comic characters; please do not use
the pictures anywhere else without our permission.
