*Magazines/Books About Vintage US Comics: As we meander along to Quirky Corner this time, we discover two of the rarest artefacts ever to pass through our hands: From the earliest days of US comics fandom, Heroes’ Hangout # 1 and 2, from 1963 and 1964, respectively! Issue #1 (FN £75) is an old-school duplicated ‘zine  (the kind you had to type out on stencils which printed in a funny purple hue), from November 1963. It’s  the limited run first printing (Number 17 of 100), and has as an additional bonus an eight-page mini-comic (centre picture below – also, confusingly, named Heroes’ Hangout #1) which we infer was a bonus insert with the first issue. Issue #2 (VG £30), from February or March 1964 (depending whether you believe the cover or the editorial page) graduated to black stencils; it’s missing its final two pages, but they were only adverts. Vanishingly few artefacts remain from the early years, so here’s an opportunity to grab a slice of fandom history, edited by Rudi Franke, and featuring very early works by Bill DuBay, Roger Brand, Ray Miller, John McGeehan, and others!
