British Update: First Quenchers Plus with Free Gift Farrago: Starlord #1-3
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: The 1978 debut of 2000 AD companion, Starlord, produced a swath of science-fiction series – ‘Timequake’, ‘Planet of the Damned’, ‘Ro-Busters’ and ‘Strontium Dog’ among them – on slick paper with more colour pages than its more famous sibling. However, Starlord was never intended as a long-runner, created as a ‘feeder’ title to hopefully produce a couple of ‘star’ strips and give 2000 AD a quickie circulation boost when it was absorbed by the older title. After only 22 issues, it duly became part of 2000 AD, with ‘Strontium Dog’ and ‘Ro-Busters’ (later rebranded ‘ABC Warriors’) leading much longer lives than they had in their original title. We are delighted to have the first three issues of this short-lived but sought-after series back in stock with their original Free Gifts. Issue #1, FN with VF ‘Starlord Trooper: Time Warden’ badge, is £40; issue #2 FN with VF ‘Space Calculator’ is £30 and issue #3, VF with VF ‘Starblast’ game – it’s ‘Battleship’ in disguise, ssh – at £35. SORRY, #1 & #2 NOW SOLD
