British Update: Three Power-Packed Premieres – Fantastic, Pow and Terrific #1’s inc Free Gift Farrago!
*Power Comics: 1967 was the year of expansion for the upstart Power Comics Group; having established Wham and Smash! as more traditional comics weeklies with eventually a smattering of US material, they cashed in on the super-hero craze of the 60’s by launching Pow! in January as a ‘hybrid’ – still mostly Brit fare, but with Spider-Man and Sgt. Fury front and centre – then February’s Fantastic #1 was almost all Marvel, with a small percentage of UK-originated stories n the back, followed in April that year by Terrific in the same format. We have copies of all three debut issues new in: the Pow #1 is PR/FA – generally respectable, though extreme spine wear, but with a partial free gift, the Web-Centre Spider-Matic Gun! The Gift is worn, particularly around the ‘trigger’ area, and lacks the disc-projectiles that came with it originally. Comic and partial Free Gift available for £35. Our Fantastic #1 is a GD/VG at £30, and Terrific #1 VG at £30; illustrations of all are reproduced below. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
