British Comics Update: Captain Valiant in Space Comics
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Space Comics (which for some reason that I haven’t been able to discover) started at #50 and lasted until #81 and starred Captain Valiant, Ace of the Interplanetary Patrol, in a comic devised and created by Mick Anglo, stalwart of British comics in the 1950s/60s. This is a tough to find series and we’re delighted to have both the first and fourth issues new into stock this week, although I doubt they’ll be with us for long. Good to see that the good captain sported a rather natty tie as part of his outer space uniform.
PICTURED: SPACE COMICS BOTH SOLD
#50 (1st issue): FA £15 A fair bit of crumpling, with a hole at top of spine and a chip out of top centre (see scan). Some amateur colouring-in has been done for a few internal pages, but quite skilfully.
#53 VG £20 No specific defects, just edge wear.
