British Update: This Week’s #1: Space Adventures from Australia
*Vintage UK/Australian Reprints of US Material: Not so much a British update this time, but an Australian one. Published by Larry Cleland PTY Ltd, Space Adventures #1 reprints in black and white stories from the original American Charlton title of the same name, including one by Steve Ditko. This comic dates from the 1950s, we believe, and must have been printed soon after the originals. The cover is an Australian original, as far as we know. A bit dingy and dirty, with some staining to cover and foxing to interior pages, and a small tear at centre spine throughout, this retro sci-fi example is nevertheless a fascinating curiosity in our #1 slot this week.
