British Update: Valiant 1963
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: From the second year of publication of IPC/Fleetway’s fondly-remembered adventure weekly, towards fifty issues added to our listings, commencing with 23rd February 1963, the first combined “Valiant and Knockout”, with ‘Kelly’s Eye’, Billy Bunter’, and monster-hunting explorer ‘Professor Kraken’ (who really ought to be played by Brian Blessed if there’s ever a media adaptation), transferring over from the fallen stablemate. This run in affordable mid-low grades continues until 28th December that year, and is the start of a significant Valiant update which will be continuing through the next few weeks.
