British Update: Free Gift Farrago! Smash #108 and #109 (1968) with ‘Swing-Wing’ and ‘Secret Coder’
*Power Comics: The earlier run of Odhams’ Smash, before it got taken over by IPC/Fleetway, is always in demand, with its eclectic line-up – traditional humour strips such as ‘The Swots and the Blots’, home-grown adventure strips like ‘Brian’s Brain’ and ‘Rubberman’, Marvel super-hero reprints such as ‘Daredevil’, and the front-billed ‘Batman’ newspaper strip. But the Free Gifts, generally requiring some assembly, almost never survive in good shape, so this pair from 1968 are genuine rarities; #108 has a ‘Swing-Wing Fighter’ VF, bundled in its original rubber band (exercise caution when handling!), while #109 has a ‘Secret Coder’ FN/VF, not punched out of its original supporting card. Comics are an exceptional Fine.
