British Update: It’s Poptastic! Valentine 1959-1963 plus Holiday Extra 1963
*Girls’ Comics: A Poptastic Update! The long-lived Valentine is new here this week, with many issues from its early years (1959-1963) and its delightful mix of comic and pop music content, typified nowhere better than the cover stories which portrayed a comic strip based on a hit song from the pop charts of the time. Highlights here include the Valentine issue (!) from February 1963 and the Holiday extra from 1963 with its Elvis cover, which seems little more than an excuse for gratuitous photo-shoots of pop and movie star hunks in swimwear, GD at £25.
