British Comics Update: An Alan Class rarity: Daredevil reprint with a stapled spine
*Alan Class Reprints: Whilst researching his book with Alan Class, Secrets Of The Unknown… Alan Class, our good friend Nick Neocleous discovered something hitherto unknown among many comic experts (myself included). For a two month period, Alan experimented with a stapled format rather than his usual squarebound binding, at least for some of the copies of 12 issues, two of each from six titles. More information on these can be found in Nick’s book (if you don’t have a copy and would like one, email us and we’ll be in touch). None of these have turned up in Alan Class’s archives, so no file copies exist. We do have available this week one of these stapled issues, Sinister Tales #117, which reprints the cover and contents of Daredevil #5, alongside the usual mix of fantasy, adventure and supernatural stories. In very nice condition; unfortunately, someone has coloured in (quite well and accurately) some of the figures on the first few pages of the Daredevil story. Still a lovely copy of this obscure item. Special thanks to Nick Neocleous.
