British Update: First Quenchers! Giggle #1
*Humour Comics: 1967’s Giggle was an odd launch for Fleetway, primarily translated European reprints with only a smattering of new material, the slightly-taller size was an odd format, and the whole exercise seemed to be a test run – possibly a cost-cutting measure – to see if Euro-reprints (which Fleetway had been partially using for many years) could sustain their own weekly. If so, then the answer was ‘no’ – or possibly ‘Non’ as after a couple of months it settled down to the more conventional size, and after 38 issues was absorbed into Buster. Nevertheless, it isn’t often seen, and we are quite pleased to have the first issue back in stock, in FA (reasonable general condition, but corner off front cover marginally affecting logo of first story) at £10.
