*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: We’re delighted this week to present the first two issues of the long running and famous weekly Boy’s title, Lion, the ‘King of Picture Story Papers’, both complete with their Free Gifts, dating from February and March 1952. Lion covers featured space adventurer Captain Condor, and interior strips included schoolboy Sandy Dean, the Lone Commandos, Brett Marlow – Detective, the Jungle Robot (later Robot Archie) and many more text and picture features. The comics are in decent shape with staple rust at a minimum, although issue #1 has a small hole through the top margin in the second half of the comic. The Free Gift for #1 is the ‘Sports Stars in Action’ booklet in lovely condition apart from staple rust; for #2 it’s the ‘Speed Marvels of 1952’ booklet in similar condition.
