*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: In the wake of the success of Hotspur, the venerable story paper that had relaunched as a comic two years previously, D.C. Thomson decided in 1961 that it was time for another boys’ weekly in a similar format – but rather than revamp another of their older titles, they made this an entirely new creation! The Victor #1 was cover-dated February 25th, and featured a mix of World War II heroics, sporting strips, and mild sci-fi adventure. A hit with its intended audience, it had a respectable 30+ year career. This is an affordable opportunity to obtain one of the touchstones of British comics. It is frankly Poor, with cover edge wear and tears including a long diagonal cover tear, and a small corner missing from the lower right corner, slightly affecting the first strip, ‘The Gaunt Hounds Are Out’, but only a minor part of the picture is gone, and the narrative unaffected. All other stories complete, all interior pages present. On sale at £40. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
