British Update: Free Gift Farrago – Jag #1 with Free Gift!
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: The last of Fleetway/IPC’s ‘Big Cat’ weeklies, Jag roared into the limelight in 1968, but immediately hit a snag – unlike its stablemates (pridemates?) Lion and Tiger, Jag’s unfeasibly huge dimensions (12″ x 15″) meant it was almost never displayed unfolded, and many newsagents refused to put it on sale, as it was too awkward to display (though oddly they didn’t have that problem with the larger, but familiar, Beezer and Topper..). Despite an exciting line-up of top creators from the Fleetway bullpen, Jag never regained the lost momentum from this miscalculation, and even shrinking down to standard size early in 1969 didn’t stop its downward spiral, resulting in cancellation and amalgamation into Tiger after just 48 issues. This debut issue of this short achieveable run is in VG+ condition, minimal edge & corner wear with clean unmarred cover scene, and comes with the original free gift – Bobby Moore Book of the FA Cup – in Fine. Comic and gift for £65. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
