British Update: Free Gift Farrago: Skipper & Wizard from the 1930’s
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: In our Free Gift Farrago this week, Additions to the D.C. Thomson Boys’ Adventure papers, Skipper and Wizard, with the unusual bonus of the original Free Gifts still being present! From 1936 and 1937, the proportion of surviving issues is comparatively low, and the Gift’s presence in items of this vintage is phenomenally rare. One issue of Skipper and one of Wizard from 1937 with the Boys’ Coronation Library booklets of the King’s Air Force and the King’s Navy, respectively, plus a 1936 Wizard with the completed album of “The World’s Biggest” what-have-you, with all of the cards inserted. The Coronation picture Libraries are GD/VG grade, while the “World’s Biggest” album is GD. Our Farrago will return in two weeks’ time, after our Halloween week next week!
