British Comics Update: This Week’s #1/Free Gift Farrago: Terrific #1 1967 with Free Gift
*Power Comics: The last of Power Comics’ ‘Big Five’, Terrific, launched in 1967 as their second ‘prestige’ title – like Fantastic, it was printed on higher quality whiter paper, presenting adventures of the Sub-Mariner, Doctor Strange and the Avengers in amusingly re-edited forms for the British audience. This copy of Terrific #1 is a cut above condition-wise, being a tight, clean FN copy, with just a small hint of rusty staples, very minor spine wear and a faint biro line above Iron Man’s shoulder on the cover. It has the bonus appeal of the original promotional Free Gift – an Iron Man Iron-On Transfer, to make your own Shellhead T-Shirt! (With your Mum’s cooperation…). The transfer is probably the nicest we’ve ever seen, virtually in pristine condition without the age wrinkling that detracts from so many surviving copies. Don’t use it though — you’d ruin your investment in this splendid item!
