British Update: Super-Detective Library – Sherlock Holmes, Rick Random and More
*Boys’ Adventure & War Picture Libraries: Running 188 issues, from 1953 to 1960, Super Detective Library featured tightly plotted done-in-one stories with often superbly crafted artwork, all within the general theme of ‘Detection’, but covering a wide range, from historical events to the reaches of outer space! While many of the issues were one-offs, hit characters tended to be brought back for further adventures in a rotating pattern – popular re-invitees included Blackshirt, Buck Ryan, Rip Kirby, space detective Rick Random, John Steel and – gasp! lady detective Lesley Shane! All of those characters are present in our new selection of Super Detective, numbers between #63 and #167, plus legendary consulting detective of Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes, who appeared in #65 (VG £40, illustrated here). Prices and grades on the rest of these little gems available in our online listings.
