British Update: First Quenchers: Pow! #1
*Power Comics: ‘The Brand New Comic for the New Breed of Comic Fans’ proclaimed Pow! #1 across its masthead. In 1967, Odhams Press hit upon its highly successful formula of Marvel reprints combined with original British humour and adventure strips. Nowhere was this more notable than in Pow!, which featured Spider-Man reprints virtually from the beginning, backed up by Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos, as well as well-remembered original strips ‘Georgie’s Germs’, ‘The Dolls of St. Dominic’s’, and ‘The Cloak’. We have a copy of #1, GD/VG at £50, structurally sound with some slight sunshadow at the spine and very slightly rusty staples. The Free Gift of Spider-Matic pistol has, sadly, long since scarpered. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
