PRIZE COMICS #47 FA/GD £35 An intriguing mix of adventure, comedy, super-hero and horror, featuring Boom Boom Brannigan, Yank & Doodle with the Black Owl, Frankenstein by Dick Briefer, Flying Fist & Bingo and World-Beater. Lowish grade, intact cover with some right edge chipping. Single central staple (as printed) almost loose small spine splits and small corners chips off.
THRILLING COMICS #73 GD £38 Beneath an Alex Schomburg western cover await western thrills with Buck Ranger, jungle adventure with Princess Pantha, funny girl humour with Kathy and fantasy comedy with Looie Lazybones with stunning art by Frank Frazetta. A decent if worn copy with some cover chipping, good staples and okay pages.
