British Update: Immaculate Annuals – Buster Softcovers from 1968 to 1971
*Annuals: From the same pedigree source as previous ‘Immaculate’ selections, these are from a newsagent’s inventory, never circulated or read, no prices clipped, no gift dedications, ‘This Book Belongs To’ inscriptions or other interior markings, solid spines, tight corners and bright, vibrant colours. This week we’re back to Buster, the odd ‘hybrid’ title which despite putting the funnies front and centre, was until its latter years home to between 30%-50% adventure strips. These are the softcover Annuals which are the bane of collectors to find in high grade. These have sustained some very slight wear at the edges, being both slightly larger and slightly more vulnerable than their hardcover brethren, but remain superior copies, all VF, easily the best examples we’ve seen in our years of trading. Depicted is Buster Annual for 1968 VF £30; details on the others to be found in our catalogue.
