British Update: Off On A Comet! 1952 & 1953 issues, with Kit Carson, Sky Explorers, Billy Bunter etc
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: The long-running Comet, smaller than the usual British comic – closer to the American format – delighted readers for more than ten years from 1947 to 1958, before amalgamating with Tiger. We have around thirty new issues from the years 1952 to 1953, commencing with #215 and ending with #246, missing only a handful of issues for a virtually unbroken sequence, starring ‘Billy Bunter’, ‘Kit Carson’, ‘The Sky Explorers’, ‘Tough Tex., ‘Scamp the Happy Hound’, and ‘Shorty the Sheriff’s Deputy’. These are averaging Fair – in terms of page quality alone, they are decent, with all pages complete, but sadly there has been major rust at the staples, with almost total erosion in some cases. Nevertheless, affordable gap-fillers.
