*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: From 1962, the very first issue of Valiant, the anthology which re-invented the adventure weekly for a modern audience, and prompted makeovers in its stablemates Lion and Tiger. Featuring the debuts of Captain Hurricane (much less comedic than he became in later years) and the anti-hero Steel Claw, as well as long-running comedy series The Nutts, this was the foundation of a fifteen-year run. This copy is a graded Fair. While it is complete, it does have rusty staples, considerable spine wear, light age-related discolouration, and a shallow crescent-shaped tear at the top back cover which does not impinge upon the stories. Nevertheless, it is sound, complete, readable, and a genuine milestone in the British comics field, setting the template for myriad rivals and successors. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
