British Update: Free Gift Farrago! Valentine Gifts!
*Girls’ Comics: For this week’s Free Gift Farrago, a pair of rarities: two issues of the romance comic weekly, Valentine, from 1959 and 1962 respectively, with their original free gifts. The October 31st, 1959 issue, in Fair, comes with the ‘Thrilling Iron-On Transfers’ of Cliff and Elvis! (swoon…) while the 22nd September 1962 issue, in VG/FN grade, offers us a ‘Specially painted colour portrait’ of Richard Chamberlain! (actually a rather nicely-done paint-effect print). The transfers are in Good condition, and the print is Fine. Valentines, as regular readers of our updates well know, are not common in any grade from this period, and issues retaining the free gifts are virtually unheard of, so we don’t expect these to stay in stock long.
