British Update: First Quenchers! Bring On The Beezer! Issue #1 from 1956
*Humour Comics: The very first issue of the long-running humour weekly, Beezer, is back in stock. Following in the wake of successful stablemate the Topper, launched three years earlier, the broadsheet dimensions of this oversized weekly made it hugely popular with readers, who felt they were getting more value for their thruppence; less popular with newsagents, who found it a bit of a bugger to display. Nevertheless, the antics of ‘Ginger’ ‘Pop, Dick and Harry’, ‘Calamity Jane’, and ‘The Hillys and the Billys’, among others, made the title a hit and it ran for a respectable 1809 issues until 1990. This copy of the premier issue is a very presentable FA, moderate edge wear as might be expected with some brittleness along lower edge, but spine sound, all pages unmarred; on sale for £60. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
