British Update: High-Grade Issues of Fleetway Super Library Front Line series
*Boys’ Adventure & War Picture Libraries: Originally published fortnightly from 1967 to 1968, these extra-long digests provided 100+ pages of (as far as we know) all-new adventures, not reprinted from the weekly comics. Like its companion titles in the Fleetway Super Library family (Fantastic/Stupendous and Secret Agent), Front Line alternated its stars, odd-numbered issues featuring ‘Maddock’s Marauders’, a rag-tag team of international soldiers, and even-numbered copies starring ‘Sgt. Ironside’, who, to absolutely no-one’s surprise, got the job done while disobeying military rules. We have many, though by no means all, of the 26-issue series beginning with issue #3 and ending with issue #24. Like our recent additions in the Fleetway Super Library Secret Agent Series, this selection is in surprisingly high grade (given the propensity of the card covers to attract and hoard creases), with the majority being VF. Illustrated are #3 VF £15 and #4 VF £12.
