*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: …Well, it’s not long before you become a Buster, as it happens; but Jet, the 1971 adventure weekly launch from !PC/Fleetway, started strongly, with a line-up of well-crafted series along the well-trod path of war, sci-fi and sport, along with Ken Reid’s superb ‘Faceache’. For some reason, however, the series just didn’t ‘take’, despite other stellar contributors such as Solano Lopez and Eric Bradbury, and after a short run of 22 issues, it was inexplicably merged with the humour weekly, Buster, rather than another adventure series. “The Sludgemouth Sloggers”, “Von Hoffman’s Invasion”, “Faceache”, and “The Kids From Stalag 41” made the leap, for a long time Jet languished forgotten. Recent interest in short-run titles has increased, however, and her we have an opportunity for you to sample Jet in very affordable low to mid grades, from the second issue to the final number.
