British Update: Wizard Wheezes!
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: The veteran D.C. Thomson adventure paper, Wizard, receives an influx of new stock, multiple issues from the years 1944 to 1951, with wonder-athlete Wilson, the unfortunate characters of Spadger Island, and the Wolf Of Kabul among the star features! Of note is the debut issue of Limp-Along-Leslie, the plucky footballer who didn’t let his disability stop him becoming a star soccer player. Leslie had a long career in a number of publications, including Hotspur, Buddy, Spike, Champ and Victor, but it all kicked off here in issue #1302 (1951), as pictured.
