British Update: First Quenchers: Battle Picture Library #1
*Boys’ Adventure & War Picture Libraries: In January 1961, Battle Picture Library joined its elder brethren, Air Ace and War, to complete the ‘Big Three’ of Fleetway/IPC Picture Libraries, running, between them, thousands of issues and showcasing scores of talented writers and artists. Early issues of these iconic titles are increasingly sought-after, and we are delighted to have Battle Picture Library #1, ‘The Rats of Tobruk’, back in stock in a highly attractive VG+ £80. The cover is tight and flat, spine in generally excellent shape with minor wear at top, and only very slight penetration by staple rust at mid-spine. These minor flaws, however, are offset by vibrant unfaded cover colour and superior interior page quality, resulting – as you can see for yourselves in the illustration – in a copy with considerable eye appeal at £80. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
