British Update: A Miscellany of Boys’ Adventure Titles – with Long Hot Summer ‘Bonus Content’
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: A small but intriguing selection of Boys’ Adventure titles, commencing with the second issue of Action, the controversial weekly showcasing Hookjaw, Dredger, Hellman and more; this is a FN copy – sadly lacking the Hookjaw t-shirt transfer – at £25. We also have additions to the 1950s series Marvelman, early 2000 AD, and a couple of unusual Specials – the ‘Best of’ Hot-Shot Hamish one-off from 1991, and 1990’s Classic Action Holiday Special. No relation to Action weekly, the Classic Action Holiday Special featured new stories of well-remembered characters of yesterday – Steel Claw, Kelly’s Eye, Robot Archie, etc – but drawn in the classic style, and often by the surviving original artists. This all-new (at the time) nostalgia-fest is VG at £20.
