British Update: First Quenchers Plus! Hornet First & Last
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: We have the premiere (14th September 1963) and the final (#648 7th February 1976) issues of the long-running DC Thomson adventure weekly. Created as a companion to Hotspur, Hornet’s star was ‘Bouncing’ Bernard Briggs, soccer goalie (and later jack-of-all-sports – British comics presented sportsmen the way American ones did scientists, with all the disciplines being interchangeable), who was the only survivor from the original line-up to make it all the way to the end. After a very respectable run, Bernard, along with everlasting wonder-man ‘Wilson’, crossed over to Hotspur. Our copy of #1 is GD at £40; the final issue #648 is FN at £10. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
