British Update: Free Gift Farrago: Knockout 1958
*Humour Comics: Although we list Knockout in our Humour Comics category, because it started out as fundamentally a ‘funnies’ title, it is more of a hybrid with Boy’s Adventure & War. By the time of the comics featured in this update (1958), it had more or less transitioned into a Boy’s Adventure weekly, with the humour reduced to Billy Bunter and a couple of shorts, and starred famous strips such as Sexton Blake, Davy Crockett, Hopalong Cassidy and many others. Free Gift issues from the 1950s are usually much rarer than their later counterparts, so we are particularly pleased to have three issues in sequence with their gifts, all part of the same series. #1007 (a slightly rumpled VG) includes its Free Gift (also in VG with slightly rusted staple and some edge wear): 3D picture album, including unused 3D glasses and first 8 pictures for the album, with original rubber band unperished. #1008 (a little more worn with minor rust stains) has the next 8 3D pictures (rusty staple) and #1009 is in identical condition with the next 8 3D pictures.
