British Comics Update: Take Five: Your Wish is our Commando
*Boys’ Adventure & War Picture Libraries: We’re pleased to present five more early issues of the most famous and longest running Picture Library of them all this week, still going strong after nearly 65 years! We have issues #59, #60, #61, #75 & #76. These are all from the same source, where a previous owner had added two extra staples near the spine, which have rusted to varying degrees over the years. They make the copies a little tight to open, but don’t impair the reading of them. The spines were also taped, and some tape remains on some issues, with a residue on others. Nevertheless, the cover colours remain vibrant, with little other wear or creasing (unless noted) and well-preserved pages. Previous owner’s name in biro and small lettering top of back covers. Highly collectable.
