Dinky Foden's comic help needed please

I write for the Dinky Toys Collectors Association and Dinky Fans. I wrote an article on the Dinky Foden S90 models from the 1970's earlier this year and I am working on a follow up article. I was hoping please if someone could share a scan of the Dinky comic from Battle 1976 and Valiant 1976 and 1977? of the Foden dump truck. I saw member rossobantam had posted a collection of Dinky Toys comics but it was from a 2016 post.

I never knew the Dinky Foden S90 army truck and dump truck were featured in a comic so it would be great material to share in my article. I have the Foden Army truck comic already but the dump truck is the other I am seeking. Here is a link to my recent Foden article-https://dinkyfans.com/the-last-dinky-fodens/

Thank you for your assistance.

You refer to a Dinky comic, do you mean an advert in the comic for the Dinky model? It's not clear from your message.

Sorry about that. Its not an advert in the comic for a Dinky model but it appears to me as a comic that features a Dinky model.

If you click on this link the Foden dump truck comic I am looking for is shown but due to the age of the post it cant be enlarged.

The Foden dump truck is in the second row, last photo.

The author calls them Dinky mini-stories in comics.

Robbie,

Forgot to ask, do you know if it was from Battle or Valiant? 1976? 1977?

Thank you again.
