British Update: Long Hot Summer – Buster and Buster & Monster Fun
*Humour Comics: By the late 1970s, Buster weekly had almost entirely switched gear to funnies rather than its traditional adventure/humour mix, and this trend was exacerbated when it merged with Monster Fun. The popularity of the Buster and Monster Fun amalgam weekly was such that from 1977 to 1995 a separate Buster & Monster Fun Holiday Special ran in parallel with the Buster Holiday Special, resulting in two ‘dollops’ a year for the Buster buff! We have new listings for Buster Holiday Special from 1977 to 1993, and for Buster & Monster Fun Holiday Special (and one anomalous ‘Spring’ Special in 1979) from 1977 to 1982. Pictured are Buster Holiday Fun Special from 1977 FN/VF £17.50 and Buster & Monster Fun Holiday Special 1981 FN/VF £12.50; grades and prices for the rest may be found in our online catalogue.
