British Comics Update: This Week’s #1: Pluck 1956
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Something of a rarity in this week’s #1 slot. Courage and Pluck were two monthly story papers launched by the publisher L Miller in 1956. Both lasted just three issues, their lack of popularity due to their infrequency and/or their 6d price tag. Rarely seen and virtually forgotten today, we have a Pluck #1 for sale this week in very respectable condition, with just some minor age marking to the spine and cover margin, and a short horizontal tear to the right cover edge margin only. Sporting a great war full colour cover believed to be by Mick Anglo, this contains illustrated text stories with western, sports, school and historical adventure themes with one short war picture strip. There can’t be many of these around — we’ve never seen one before!
