In the first issue of 1964 the red Indian Strongbow

As I
explained in my introduction to this series HERE, I started it hoping perhaps
it will attract the attention of BUSTER collectors with spare copies of the
title and they’ll help me fill my few remaining gaps. Please, contact me via
e-mail if you have copies to sell or swap and don’t mind shipping abroad because
I am not in the UK. I have 25 – 30 spare copies from the early 60s and might
help fill some of your gaps, so e-mail me for a list and details about
condition. See my blogger profile for the address.
