*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Created as a companion to Hotspur, Hornet’s star was ‘Bouncing’ Bernard Briggs, soccer goalie (and later jack-of-all-sports – British comics presented sportsmen the way American ones did scientists, with all the disciplines being interchangeable), who was the only survivor from the original line-up to make it all the way to the end. After a very respectable run, Bernard, along with everlasting wonder-man ‘Wilson’, crossed over to Hotspur. But this week we have Hornet from the beginning, with the vast majority of its first two years, 1963 and 1964, in a mixture of grades, including the first three issues. The first issue is a nice copy, but with a small tear at the lower left cover margin.
