*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Continuing (and for the time being concluding) our massive Comet update, we have solid if not quite consecutive runs from 1955 through to its final year of publication 1959 – after which it was merged into Tiger. This period saw the debut of one of the most popular strips to emerge from the series, space adventurer Jet-Ace Logan, who premiered in issue #426. For most of this period, Comet was a small and slim publication, similar in size, if not thickness, to the US comic book; however, issue #519 saw the switch to a larger format – somewhere between the standard US and UK sizes – and the introduction of Commando One, another popular series which would make the jump over to Tiger. This run, in affordable mid-grades, also includes the final issue published, after more than a decade of fun and thrills with Buffalo Bill, Strongbow the Mohawk, Billy Bunter, Robin Hood and all the gang! Selected covers are reproduced below, including War Eagle, an abandoned waif raised by giant eagles who became the greatest fighter pilot of World War II. As one would. War Eagle didn’t make a lasting impact on Comet’s fortunes, but he’s one of the more engagingly loopy concepts, so we just thought we’d throw him out there!
