BUSTER COVERS GALLERY - PART 5


There were four issues of BUSTER in October 1963. The first one featured Return of the Shrinker – a story about an evil scientist who invented a powerful ray which was capable of shrinking humans and animals to midgets. Next week the front cover was given to Black Axe – a sword-and-sorcery tale without speech balloons. In that week's episode Black Axe and his companions confronted a fierce band of Vikings and then defeated some druids. The cover of October 19 issue featured Mike Kane Gladiator – a thriller yarn about a sports reporter who was a failure at all sports until he received the help of his ancestor – a Roman Gladiator. The last front cover feature of the month was Strongbow the Mighty – a western with a fantasy twist (steaming jungle, prehistoric monsters, etc…)


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.
