*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: From 1962, the very first issue of Valiant, the anthology which re-invented the adventure weekly for a modern audience, and prompted makeovers in its stablemates Lion and Tiger. Featuring the debuts of Captain Hurricane (much less comedic than he became in later years) and the anti-hero Steel Claw, as well as long-running comedy series The Nutts, this was the foundation of a fifteen-year run. This copy is a bargain because of its extremely poor condition; while it is complete, it’s ragged and worn, so we’ve priced it fairly at £15. It comes with a free, albeit incomplete, copy of issue #2, also in dilapidated state, just because we’re too good to you!
