British Update: Blown Away By Hurricane! Classic short-run adventure series replenished
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Launched in 1964, Hurricane is a short-lived but well remembered series (63 issues total) which launched the careers of Sword For Hire, HMS Outcast, Two Fists Against the World, footballer Harry Kane (in an amazing feat of prescience) and, most importantly, brawling adventurer Typhoon Tracy and racing driver Skid Solo. Despite being extensively advertised, even on its own front cover, as ‘A companion paper to Valiant’, it eventually merged into Tiger, where Messrs. Tracy and Solo enjoyed much longer careers – decades longer, in Skid Solo’s case – than in their parent paper. We have 26 issues in new to our lists, between May 1964 and April 1965. ALL ISSUES NEW IN SOLD
