*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: A brace of one-off sci-fi specials from two short-lived 2000 AD companion titles! Starlord was a quality sci-fi weekly, featuring innovative strips such as ‘Strontium Dog’, ‘Ro-Busters’, ‘Planet of the Damned’ and ‘Timequake’, and with more colour pages and slicker paper, seemed to be attempting to upgrade the 2000 AD model. Tornado debuted on the then-traditional pulp paper, starring psychic teen delinquent ‘The Mind of Wolfie Smith’, rebellious slave ‘Black Hawk’, and superheroic parody ‘Captain Klep’. Oddly, both Starlord and Tornado lasted precisely 22 issues before being amalgamated back into 2000 AD, but each produced a single Summer Special on high quality stock, both of which are rare and highly sought after. Our Starlord Summer Special is FN, while our Tornado Summer Special, having very small upper and lower spine splits, is GD/VG.
