British Update: Valiant Picture Library – From First To Last
*Boys’ Adventure & War Picture Libraries: Launched in 1963 with a rotating feature remit, Valiant Picture Library at first presented a wide variety of features, including adventure, western, crime, historical, sci-fi and at least one super-hero – but within thirty or so issues, it had settled into the well-trodden World War II genre, albeit with superior artists and writers to many of its contemporaries. It ran for 144 issues, ending in 1969 (Oddly, because they were released two-a-month, both #143 and #144 carried the announcement that they were the final issue on their inside front covers; don’t be deceived.). We’re pleased to have many, though not quite all, of VPL back in stock, from the first issue to the very last, averaging FN, and with many achieving the grade of VF, bright, shiny and vivid, a grade seldom award to items of this vintage. Pictured are #1 FN £35, #2 FN £20 and #3 VF £25. Details on the rest? You know where to look by now, surely?
