*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: From 1979 to 1984, D.C. Thomson capitalised on their inventory by issuing Red Dagger, a reprint title in which, each issue, a serial that had previously graced Victor, Hornet, Wizard, Hotspur, Wizard or Bullet was gathered up, judiciously edited down, and re-presented as a done-in-one story.  We have a virtually complete run of this highly collectable series (28 issues new in out of a possible 30), from the very first (“Twisty”) to the last (“Eleven Little Soccer Boys”), along the way visiting friends old and new such as Morgyn the Mighty, the Black Sapper, Braddock of the R.A.F., Bernard Briggs the Bouncing Goalie, and the Tough of the Track, among others. Averaging VG-FN, these are a very affordable way to obtain a flavour of the classic adventure series.
