Billy Bunter had a long career at Fleetway. He began in hugely popular text stories and then went on to further fame as a purely slapstick character in the pages of Knockout and Valiant, where his depiction was almost totally unrelated to his original conception. The strips that appeared in Comet take us firmly back to the roots that established the popularity of the characters: exciting dramatic adventures featuring not only Billy Bunter but also the cast of other Greyfriars characters. This volume comprises the very best of the Comet Billy Bunter dramatic strips, including all those drawn by Reg Bunn ('The Famous Five') and C.H. Chapman ('Greyfriars School' and 'Bunter of Greyfriars') that most admirers would consider the pick of the crop, or as Billy Bunter might say, the icing on the cake… (immagine)

In the 1950s and 1960s SF comic strips were hugely popular in British weekly comics. The most popular being Dan Dare in the Eagle, Captain Condor in The Lion and Jet-Ace Logan in The Comet. Jet-Ace Logan first appeared in The Comet #426 (September 1956) with art by Geoff Campion who drew the first 3 stories. John Gillatt took over the art from issue 474 and continued honing his brilliant pen and ink artwork until the last issue of Comet in October 1959 by which time his artwork had become some of the finest and exciting comic strip art in British comics. This limited edition, with over 360 pages of exciting SF artwork, is a must for all comic strip and SF art fans. (immagine)
