British Update: First Quenchers: Solo in the Spotlight! #1 of short-lived TV anthology from 1967
*TV & Film Related Comics: Released in 1967, Solo, the companion paper to TV Tornado, featured a line-up of film and TV tie ins with guaranteed star power -‘Sgt Bilko’, ‘Mary Poppins’, and the hugely popular ‘Man From UNCLE’. Oddly, the powers-that-be decided to go with Disney’s ‘Scarecrow of Romney Marsh’ as the lead cover feature. Nevertheless, these leads plus lesser lights – ‘Seaspray’? ‘Run, Buddy, Run’? – provided ample entertainment, though it could be argued that the multitude of Disney cartoon strips brought the reading age down a bit. Despite its quality, Solo never achieved very wide circulation, and copies are seldom seen. This copy of #1 is in FA condition, with considerable spine and cover edge wear and evidence of historical folding, but all pages are present, complete and eminently readable. Yours for £40. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
