*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: Four issues of Quality’s National Comics from the Bute Collection this week, one of the most esoteric anthologies of the period. Cover featuring circus sideshow man the Barker and his weird chums, other regulars included policewoman Sally O’Neill in stylish crime noir adventures, more crime with the masked Whistler, costumed hero Quicksilver (no, not the one you’re thinking of), humour with Granny Gumshoe, the elderly detective, Steve Wood, waterfront detective, mischievous toddler Lassie and lots of other comedy strips. All four copies fresh in are in very decent condition for their age, solid copies with little wear or creasing.
