Annuals 1955 (missing 80+ pgs), 1957 (missing 70+ pgs), 1963 and 1965 (both strips only) are not complete. If anybody has complete issues available?

The 1954 annual has a number of extraneous files — .PNGs (that duplicate the .JPGS) can be removed. I’ve done so on my copy.
Also, the text from the GCD:
“1964 & 1965 unknown but probably Odhams Books Ltd.
“1970 to 1972: unknown”
can be updated just by looking at the content of the files.
1964 & 1965 are indeed Odhams.
1970 is also Odhams but
1971 & 1972 are IPC.
