Picked up Victor Books 1972 and 1976 and Lion Anual 1967 in Deptford Market today for £4.50.

Does the Lion Book Of War Adventures 1962 contain lots of comic strips, or is it mostl...

Well, that's me with the Champion The Wonder Horse theme song stuck in my head.

The new Battle Of Britain Special from Rebellion. Rat Pack as nasty as ever, balanced by a short story that left me a bit misty-eyed, and I've still lots to read. In the shops later this week. 100 pages.

The last scan looks like the work of Walt Kelly, but badly traced. He did a lot of comic book work before creating Pogo. This might be from Fairy Tale Parade, which has a Facebook page at https://m.facebook.com/WaltKellysFairyT ... l&mt_nav=0. People there might know.
