*TV & Film Related Comics: The long-running Mickey Mouse Weekly was a delightful title and we have several dozen fresh in this week from 1951-1957. As well as the rather fun and exciting adventures of Mickey & Donald (often just as full of mystery and adventure as humour), many other Disney favourites were also featured, such as Peter Pan, Dumbo and Alice In Wonderland. In addition, there were many strips which would have more than graced Boys’ Adventure comics of the time, such as Robin Hood, the Pied Piper, Davy Crockett, Strongbow the Mighty, Don Conquest and the Visitor from Space, Pecos Bill and Nemo and the Nautilus. As if this wasn’t enough, there were also schoolboy (and girl) adventures with the likes of Billy Brave, Monty Carstairs and Malcolm Savile’s Lone Pine Five. The comic was printed on superior paper and the glorious colour used for the covers and centrefold rivalled the technicolour of Disney’s films. Truly a classic, and at £2.25 for a GD copy up to £4 for a FN, wonderful value.
