British Update: Bring on the Buster – The Sequel! 1975/76, including Monster Fun Merger and 1st Leopard From Lime Street
*Humour Comics: Close to 100 issues from 1975 and 1976 close out our massive Buster re-stock, with two highlights this run. The 27th March 1976 issue featured the first appearance of what would become the title’s longest-running adventure series, (nine years, beating Fishboy’s previous record of eight) the Leopard From Lime Street! Scratched by a radioactive leopard, young Billy Farmer gained feline powers and fought crime in his home town of Selbridge – all the while trying to hide his secret from his bullying uncle and ailing aunt! In the 6th November 1976 issue, another milestone occurred: Buster absorbed the fallen Monster Fun weekly, but unlike the usual token gesture, fully half of MF’s line-up, eight strips, invaded Buster, tipping the balance from a split of adventure & humour towards, in a few years’ time, an all-humour line-up. Meantime, though, laughs and thrills await you from all the old familiar chums!
