British Update: Sea War Picture Library – Oceanic Battle Tales From Pearson’s 1962
*Boys’ Adventure & War Picture Libraries: Launched in 1962, and ending with issue #43 the following year, Sea War Picture Library was a companion to Pearson’s other digest-sized war series, Picture Stories of World War II and Air War Picture Stories, focusing on – oh, you’ve guessed – tales of valour and heroism on the waves. We have acquired the first 14 issues of this series, a nice consecutive run in attractive grades, averaging VG/FN. The Pearson’s Libraries are not commonplace – we suspect they had substantially lower print runs than contemporaries – and this is the first time we have seen Sea War in our quarter-century of dealing, so buy now while you have the chance! Pictured is issue #1 VG £10; you should know where to look for details on the rest by now…
