Three Recent Acquisitions: UK Golden and Silver ages

 Three very (very) cheap acquisitions; two UK Golden Age and one Silver Age. The first is Knockout volume 1 from the Amalgamated Press (aka IPC, aka Fleetway, aka Maxwell Pergamon Publishing aka...you get the point?).

These are on poor quality paper and have the 8pp standard at that time due to paper shortages thanks to World War II. Nice to see some old style strips and do not be conned -these are not "super rare" and fetching high prices.

Knockout no. 455 15th November 1947




Knockout No. 459 13th December 1947






Outer Space Album 1959 printed in the Netherlands (as at that point there was still paper rationing in the UK) and published by G.T. Ltd, London. Been a few years since I published a Captain Future story reprint. These albums are out there and the only ones that might command a high price are the ones in near pristine condition. I'd try looking for the Holy Grail if I were you as you are far more likely to find that!
