*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: This week we’re kicking off an event to last all summer long, spotlighting those elusive British Summer & Holiday Specials which were published to keep the kids entertained during the school holidays. Over the course of this summer, we shall be adding hundreds of these extra-length gems to our catalogue in our Long Hot Summer feature. It all starts right here with a selection of favourite Boys’ titles, opening with Battle 1977 – because nothing says ‘seaside fun’ more than ‘stories of bloody combat’ – and continues through Eagle Mk. II (1985), Valiant 1976 and 1979, and Warlord 1976, starring D-Day Dawson, One-Eyed Jack, Dan Dare, Captain Hurricane and other such mainstays, but the jewel in the crown this update is the 1976 Vulcan Holiday Special, which, like its weekly sibling, gathered the finest of UK adventure series, including the Trigan Empire, Steel Claw, Mytek the Mighty, Saber King of the Jungle, and more! This scarce item is FN at £35.
