I also received a comic I hadn't come across before which was Radar Picture Library #1 from 1962. Looks great!

After 2 or 3 weeks of not finding anything in the charity shops and the carboot season being over, things were getting desperate.Having finished buying and wrapping all this years christmas presents (in record time for me)I decided to cycle about two miles from town to where there was a couple of specialist charity book shops and also some secondhand shops.The charity shops were disappointing but from a junk shop got ------

I won the bundle of Nutty (previously from Bill Ritchie's file copies) including the final issue.

Adam Eterno writes about Radar #1, and nice wee pocket library it is too. This was an Italian series. As I'm just home from hospital and can't move around much or lift things, I can't get to the British Guide, so I can't tell you the length of the run but itdid change title later to Wonderman but the comic still featured Radar stories. I am fortunate enoughto have a small selection on my shelves. Well done.

Thanks to my wife who dug out my card files, I can tell you -and I'm sure you are all waiting for this with baited breath - that Radar ran for 16 issues and was published by Famepress. Then in 1967, Alex White published 26 issues of Wonderman, although there seems to be some doubt as to how many issues were published. Again, these were reprints of Italian stories featuring Radar. Not to be confused with the Fawcett character or the Mick Anglo Wonderman.
Radar originally appeared in Il Nuovo Sceriffo in 1961, gaining his own title in 1963, which ran for 56 issues. Weekly. But, I think that after 20 issues of Radar, the title might have changed to Albi Grand Avventuri.
