*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Continuing our latest series of British Summer and Holiday specials. Although more famous as probably the most acclaimed (and certainly longest-running) British War Comic, the Victor certainly had other genre representation over the many years of its run, notably Morgyn the Mighty and The Tough Of The Track. Both these celebrated strips are included in the 1st Victor Summer Special from 1967, alongside many war strips and others, as well as the sort of puzzle and feature pages for which this phenomenon of British comics’ publishing was famed. Tabloid-sized and unusually only 32 pages, this inaugural special with its distinctive dinosaur cover is genuinely scarce and can command significant prices in the marketplace. This example is in reasonable condition, with some creasing, but not the horizontal fold across the middle you so often get in comics of this size. There is a very small chip out at bottom edge near spine and a small lower spine split of less than 2 cm. There is an incipient central cover tear which has not yet truly manifested and a tear on the back cover at upper staple without loss. Bright cover with colour and black and white interiors. We haven’t had this through our hands very often.
