*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Despite only lasting 22 issues between 1970 and 1971, the IPC/Fleetway adventure weekly Thunder had a major impact on the comic industry, introducing popular and long-running characters such as the ageless wanderer “Adam Eterno”, crazed scientist “Black Max”, robot soldier “The Steel Commando”, and, erm, “Phil the Fluter”, who froze time whenever he blew his instrument.  No, really. All of these, plus Dennis McLoughlin’s “Fury’s Family”, “The Jet Skaters”, “Sam”, and “The Spooks of St. Luke’s”, moved into Lion after Thunder’s short run, importing fully half of Thunder into the veteran title. Steel Commando and Mr. Eterno were the most successful, the latter lasting until the end of Lion and moving on into Valiant until that title’s conclusion. Not only do we have all 22 issues of Thunder new in and available for purchase, but the first three come with the original free gifts! #1’s Ozzie the Jumping Kangaroo (from “Fury’s Family”) is admittedly past his best, having lost the original rubber and sustained some wear, but issue #2’s ‘Black Max’s Black Bat’ is very nice, mounted on its original card, and issue #3’s set of ‘Little Peeler’ stickers is untouched in the original envelope. For such a fleeting series, Thunder’s legacy is remarkable, and now there’s a chance to obtain the entire set – but move fast, or you won’t be Thunder-struck! Full grading and pricing information shown in our catalogue. SORRY, THE FREE GIFT ISSUES PICTURED HAVE NOW SOLD
