British Update: Free Gift Farrago: Top Spot #2 & #3 – Man-Sized Adventures
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Top Spot, starting in 1958, was an unusual and not altogether successful attempt to link something like a traditional boys’ comic (albeit with more adult storylines) with the world of glamour, sport and showbiz (a la Tit-Bits or Reveille). Thus photos and articles on glamour stars would sit alongside quality picture strip stories of crime, sport, western and action. Despite being a publication of some quality, the experiment failed and the comic was merged with Film Fun after a year and a bit. This week we have the second and third issues of Top Spot available, both with their original Free Gifts (which we’ve never seen before).
