*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Streamline was a faux American format comic co-created by Dennis Gifford and Bob Monkhouse and published by Cardal in 1947; it ran for four issues, with 16 internal pages in black and white plus a colour cover (note the ‘splat!’ sound effect on the cover). Its main character was a costumed hero in the American tradition named Keenan King (alias Streamline), gifted with superhuman speed and regenerative ability. Art in this first issue was by Gifford, and in addition to the Streamline strip, the adventure strip The Search For The Secret City also appeared plus a couple of comedy shorts. This is a superb copy of issue #1, almost as good as new and quite remarkable for its age, with only the most minimal signs of wear. The first and only copy we’ve ever seen of this rarity, and a remarkable milestone in the history of British comics.
