British Update: 1950’s Comet & Sun
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: In the 1950’s Amalgamated Press provided two ‘companion’ Adventure Weekly titles, Comet & Sun, which offered a wide range of adventure & humour strips in a mix of full colour and black and white, at the unusual size of contemporary American comics rather than the larger traditional British size. Comet headlined Buffalo Bill and Sun Billy The Kid, although many other famous characters appeared: in Comet, Billy Bunter, Jet Ace Logan & the Lone Ranger, in Sun, Roy Rogers, Battler Britton and Tom Merry’s Terrible Three, to name but a few. Several dozen issues new to our listings: Comet from 1954, 1956, 1957 & 1958, Sun from 1957 & 1958.
