British Update: Long Hot Summer – Valiant Summer Specials from the Sizzling Seventies
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: A quartet of Summer Specials from the well-remembered adventure weekly, home of ‘Captain Hurricane’, ‘Billy Bunter’, ‘Raven on the Wing’, ‘Kelly’s Eye’, ‘House of Dolmann’ and scores more. We open with 1971’s Valiant & Smash! Summer Special (Valiant recently having gobbled up a flagging stablemate), VG at £25 – a very nice copy with only minor wear towards the lower spine. 1976 is GD at £15 – respectable, but moderate general wear, especially at spine. 1977 is a tight & bright FN at £25, and 1980 is probably the most sought-after of the later Summer Specials because of a new story of the classic hero ‘Kelly’s Eye’ illustrated by Dave Harwood, and a stunning Brian Bolland cover featuring the ‘House of Dolmann’ gang. 1980’s Summer Special is VG/FN at £25. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
