*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: This Week’s #1 British comics slot is filled by Ranger #1 from 1965, with its original Free Gift included as a bonus. Although being the birthplace of Don Lawrence’s rightly celebrated Trigan Empire, the large format Ranger had a lot of other things going for it as well: nice paper quality, glorious painted covers and lots of other beautifully executed strips such as H. Rider Haggard’s King Solomon’s Mines & Allan Quartermain, Treasure Island , Space Cadet and many other stories of war, western, science fiction and historical adventure in a mix of colour and black and white. It had a short life before being subsumed into Look & Learn. The Trigan Empire debuted in #1, here with its Free Gift, the BOAC VC10 Booklet. This is a decent copy of this large format comic, with some spine wear, a minor crease or two and a small tear on the back cover margin. The Booklet Free Gift is a very nice Fine.
