*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: From 1973, Hotspur #729 enticed readers with the cover-featured ‘Iron Teacher’ (a robot educator who spent more time adventuring than teaching), the return of subterranean superhero ‘The Black Sapper’, ‘Cracker Jackson’ (plucky footballing cripple) and more – but as if that excitement wasn’t enough, it also offered a full-colour ‘All-Star Banner’ (tall n’skinny poster, basically) featuring sports players and other media stars of the era. Thrill to Jimmy Savile, the New Seekers, Vince Hill, and – I’m not really helping to sell it here, am I? The comic is VG, and the gift/poster in VF, never having been pinned up.
