*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Top Spot, starting in 1958, was an unusual and not altogether successful attempt to link something like a traditional boys’ comic (albeit with more adult storylines) with the world of glamour, sport and showbiz (a la Tit-Bits or Reveille). Thus photos and articles on glamour stars would sit alongside quality picture strip stories of crime, sport, western and action. Despite being a publication of some quality, the experiment failed and the comic was merged with Film Fun after a year and a bit. From 1959, issues #11-23 (missing #20) freshly listed this week, all in decent VG shape, a bit of foxing, a spot of rust on staple, but nice pages. Superb pin-up glamour covers on all these: I’ve featured my personal favourite 50s glamour girl, Diana Dors. Full details as always in our catalogue.
