British Update: Long Hot Summer: Spies and Secrets and Agents, Oh My! Espionage-Themed Picture Library Holiday Specials
*Boys’ Adventure & War Picture Libraries: In the 1960s, the Spy and Secret Agent craze was running rampant in the wake of Bond, and countless publishers tried to tap into the phenomenon. One of the more successful was Fleetway, who released several espionage-themed series, and we have the chunky triple-length Summer/Holiday Specials to prove it! Opening with Secret Agent Summer Special 1967, which altered its title slightly to Holiday Special from 1968, we have the full set of four from 1967 to 1970. Spy 13, intrepid star of Thriller Picture Library, gained his own solo Summer Special in 1966: and we round out the update with the first Top Secret PL Holiday Special from 1975. Pictured are Secret Agent Picture Library Summer/Holiday Specials 1967 through to 1970, all FN, each £15. SORRY, MOST OF THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
