British Update: Free Gift Farrago: A Warlord Triumvirate
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Warlord, starting in 1974, was a late entrant by D C Thomson into the traditional British war comic stakes, but attained a popularity which endured for 12 years and 627 issues. This week we have three consecutive early issues, complete with their spiffy Free Gifts. All three comics vary from GD to VG, mostly because of the ink stacking defect quite common in this series, where an imprint of the back cover of one issue is shown to varying degrees on the front cover of the one is was stacked on before the ink was dry. Free Gifts are nice as follows: #18 has two model fighter planes of WW2, still unassembled in their original envelopes (envelopes slightly grubby, but unopened); #19 has two further such models in the same condition and #20 has a sheet of stick-on badges in pristine condition.
