| The comics were started in the USA in the
1940s and not many survive in VG condition. Some
were reproduced in the 1990s. Then another
series started at number 1 again, at least in the
UK. These have glossy covers, and there is
another series of 'adult picture stories' with
matt covers which were published in Australia.
More information from somebody in the know
would be welcome.

I have a collection of the vintage USA comics
from the 1940s and 50s which have been scanned
and transferred to pdf files which can be read on
any computer with Adobe Acrobat Reader (free from
the internet) and stored on CDROM. They are now
in the public domain.
The comics from which these scans were taken are
not in the best condition - there are tears,
stains, and browning - but still make enjoyable
reading. However, they were mostly printed in the
days when they used full colour (before they
started recycling old newspaper strips).
They are Saint comics Nos (USA) 1, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9,
10, 11 (UK monochrome edition) and 12 (see
right).
CD available from me post free £3. |
