British Update: Long Hot Summer — Smash! Pow! It’s Fantastic Summer Special 1968
*Power Comics: There was only one Summer Special for the Power Comics series Fantastic, and it’s rather clunky full title, as seen in the header above, indicates that by this time it had already devoured two of its weaker weekly siblings, in the hatch-match-and-despatch pattern so beloved of traditional British weeklies. This is ‘A Treasure-Store of Power Style Super-Hero Action and Laughs containing the nest of FANTASTIC, SMASH and POW weekly!”’ as it says on the packet. Not common in any condition, dating from the dying days of the Power Comics regime, most known copies tend to have very rusty staples. The staples on this copy, in fact, have rusted through to the point that the cover is detached from the body of the comic, but structurally the rest of it is sound. In view of this drawback, we have graded it as FA/GD and are asking £25. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
