*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: 1976’s notorious weekly, Action, while groundbreaking in the levels of on-panel violence it permitted, was very traditional in one aspect, that of presenting ‘free gifts’ with selected issues to boost circulation or pique interest. We have here a fine pair of examples: 21st Feb 1976 – the second issue – with the original free gift, a t-shirt transfer of cuddly man-eating shark Hookjaw, and 29th May ’76, which proffers a Battleships-style ‘Invasion!’ game card. The 21/2 issue is a sparkling FN at £60, with the gift as VG (just slight wear around the edges, no damage to image), and the 29/5 is a remarkable VF, with the gift also VF.
