*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Our Long Hot Summer feature continues with a rara avis of the comic world, the forerunner of the Lion Summer/Holiday Special which started in 1968, this extra-thick one-off from 1967 didn’t actually feature any of the Lion regulars, but rather adaptations and articles on ‘the Greatest Films Ever Made’, as the cover boasts. These include Thunderbirds Are Go, Batman, The Lost World, Tobruk, Quo Vadis, You Only Live Twice and others. This chunky 96 pager is in reasonable condition, a few nicks at the edges, some wear around the firm staples and as is not unusual with a comic this thick, just a hint of spine roll. Handling wear renders it slightly wavy rather than perfectly flat, but comfortably readable.
