*Boys’ Adventure & War Picture Libraries: Well, a bit of colour; the publishers of this series of digest-sized European reprints cheaped out by only having the odd page in full-colour rather than black & white, but that alone made them stand out in those days! Top Three, so called because of its habit of running three separate and distinct stories in each issue, covered an astonishing variety of subject matter in its 100+ run: adventure, jungle, historical, detective thriller, and many more, with attractive painted covers luring in the readers. This selection of new issues (around 30 in all) fills in much of the early run, ranging from 1961’s #2 to 1964’s #40, averaging Fine or better, with many VFs. We’re finally coming towards the end of our massive CSD: Putney collection of picture libraries, with just a few weeks more to go!
