British Update: Love Story Library from #2 (1952)
*Girls’ Picture Libraries: This popular series, published by Amalgamated Press (later IPC/Fleetway), ran from 1952-1976, clocking in over 1600 issues. We have 50+ issues from the first 100 numbers (1952 to, our best guess, 1955 – like many publications of the time they’re not dated), ranging between issue #2 to issue #99. The title was later changed to Love Story Picture Library, to avoid confusion with the similarly formatted text fiction series which abounded at the time. These are of course all comics stories. These average Good condition, but it should be emphasised that this is purely because of the staple rust which unfortunately plagues many comics of the period. They’re otherwise sound, with bright covers and clean interior pages, and would, if not for the rusty staples and rust migration, average at least a grade higher than stated, but, as ever, we try to err on the side of caution. The earliest four numbers are shown here; please consult our catalogue for the full listing.
