British Comics Update: Quirky Corner: Prang Comic 1948
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Right then, it doesn’t get much rarer and more esoteric than this. The one and only issue of Prang Comic, published in 1948 by Hotspur. It has the dimensions of an American comic and features three strips in its eight pages: Maxwell the Mighty, the 1000 HP Human, super-hero with flight, super strength, super speed and invulnerability; Daredevil Kent Carew, Crime-Breaker of the Air – test pilot and ‘tec; Peter Puck and the Wishing Ring, a boy whose wishes come true with the aid of a magic ring, all illustrated in red, white and navy blue. I’ve not been able to track down any details of writers or artists. This is a lovely copy, virtually as good as you would want or expect, with clean near white pages, little wear and no markings; just a tiny nick at the very margin edge of one internal page. You may not see another!
