British Update: First Quenchers with Free Gift Farrago! Crunch Time – #1 with ‘Black Band’ and Stickers
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: 1979’s Crunch – a kind of belated response by DC Thomson to IPC/Fleetway’s hard-hitting weeklies 2000 AD and Action – promised much to the readers with its stories of tough guys in the harsh environs of crime, war and the dystopian future, but what sealed the deal for many vacillating customers was the ‘Black Band’ (actually a plastic bracelet, but they couldn’t call it that – this wasn’t Bunty, after all!) with ‘Super Crunch Stickers’ advertising the owner’s bona fides as an NYPD Crimebuster, Space Commando or other implausible claims. This Crunch #1 is an attractive FN/VF copy, with the gifts an immaculate NM; the black band is still sealed in its original envelope, and the stickers unused on their backing sheet. Comic and Gift yours for £35. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
