British Update: Boys’ Specials: Jag, Roy Of the Rovers & Victor
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: A trio of scarce Summer/Holiday Specials this update. Victor Summer Special 1973 is an attractive VF at £30, in remarkable preservation; it has been folded once horizontally (as was customary in newsagents’ displays at the time), but is otherwise unmarred, in a vastly superior grade than one normally finds these over-sized editions. Roy of the Rovers Holiday Special 1980 is also VF, and the antic’s of the Mulleted Man from Melchester can be yours for £17.50. And rarest of them all, the one-off Jag Football Special from 1968; the short-lived Jag had very few issues to its name, and this special edition, still riding high on the 1966 World Cup Win, has a token comic strip content but is mostly devoted to articles about the UK’s soccer (and other sporting) triumphs. In VG/FN at £35.
