*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: In 1969, DC attempted to do what Marvel had done successfully in the earlier 1960s (via Odhams) by reprinting their classic Silver Age material in a British format. Top Sellers was DC’s publisher of choice. They had Superman, Batman & Robin, Superboy and Lois and Jimmy, but one might argue that they weren’t exactly reprinting the cream of those characters’ adventures. Whatever. The experiment didn’t last long, just 14 issues, but at least they had nice original British art covers. This copy of #1 is okay, but marred by a small stain on the back cover which permeates through the rear pages. More importantly, the issue came with three free gifts, presented in a manilla envelope: a full colour Superman/Batman poster, a wristwatch calendar and a Superman Magic Disk. The complete gift package in envelope is present here, all in VF condition (the Magic Disk has half the small punch-out circles punched out, as they’re meant to be). Very hard to find all gifts present.
