British Comics Update: This Week’s #1: Courage 1956
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Something of a rarity in this week’s #1 slot. Courage and Pluck were two monthly story papers launched by the publisher L Miller in 1956. Both lasted just three issues, their lack of popularity due to their infrequency and/or their 6d price tag. Rarely seen and virtually forgotten today, we have a Courage #1 for sale this week in very nice condition, with just some minor age marking to the spine and cover margin. Sporting a great sci-fi full colour cover believed to be by Mick Anglo, this contains illustrated text stories with western, sports, sci-fi and adventure themes with one short comedy picture strip. There can’t be many of these around — we’ve never seen one before!
