*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Zip, from Odhams, started in 1958 and lasted for 85 issues. It was launched as a venue for the original strips from Mickey Mouse Weekly after Odhams lost the rights to Disney characters. Its most famous strips were Wells Fargo by Don Lawrence and Strongbow the Mighty by Ron Embelton, but there were a myriad of other characters including Robin Alone (Boy of the Forest) and Skippy, the Boy Who Lives in a Barrel (you wouldn’t get away with that these days – where were social services?). A reasonable tabloid-sized copy of Zip #1, with a couple of small edge tears, but good colours and staples.
