British Update: Long Hot Summer: Victor Summer Specials 1985 to 1992
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: An unbroken run of the later Victor Summer Specials, from 1985 to the final issue of 1992, the same year in which the Victor weekly comic was laid to rest. Victor, home of ‘The Tough of the Track’, ‘Morgyn the Mighty’, ‘Braddock VC’ and many more, had fallen on hard times in its final decade, and failing circulation meant that fewer copies of the extra-thick Summer Specials were printed, making them proportionately scarcer than their more vintage elders. Added to that the tradition that these were purchased on holidays, and lost/discarded on the way home, means that there are surprisingly few of these comparatively recent items around, causing an unexpected spike in prices – have you seen what some of them go for on auction websites? Anyway, this nice unbroken selection is a proud addition to our stock; pictured are 1985 VF £35, and 1986 to 1989, each FN £30 – 1990 to 1992 are also FN £30, just to save you the trouble of looking them up in our online catalogue! SORRY, MOST OF THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
