*Boys’ Adventure & War Picture Libraries: Launched in 1959 in response to Fleetway’s War and Battle Picture Library series, second-string publisher Micron’s entry in the war stakes, Combat, had amazing tenacity, running more than 1,200 issues through to 1985, but has been all but forgotten by comics historians – not so by its devoted fans, however, who had cleaned out our stock of all but two issues! Fortunately for said fans, we’ve acquired 140 new copies of Combat PL, ranging from #34 to #513. For the first 256 issues, it shamelessly imitated the livery of its brethren, War and Battle, but with #257 it adopted a lurid new look, with garish and sleazy-looking cover illustrations, rendered with a great deal more energy than skill, reminiscent of the more frenzied low-budget war movie posters. Come and get some, if you think you’re hard enough!
