Silver flash reilly virgil (1 risultati)

Paperback. First Edition. Sydney, Invincible Press, 1950 to 1955. Quarto, 50 (of 54) issues, with 24 pages of black and white comic strips plus the colour-pictorial wrappers per issue (with all artwork by Virgil Reilly). Saddle-stapled colour-pictorial wrappers; acidic newsprint slightly brittle, with occasional chips and tears (a few expertly repaired); #43 lacks a thin strip at the foot of the front wrapper; all leaves of #8 torn for a third of the way in from the leading edge; #8 and #27 have minor loss to the leading edges throughout (probably not worth the expense of restoration, but still readable); minor signs of age and handling, but overall, in very good to excellent condition. A nearly complete run of this rare Australian comic, from Number 1 to Number 54 (lacking only number 18, 25, 31, and 32). It features the underwater adventures of Captain Silver and his sidekicks Guns and Frogface as they battle deep-sea creatures, supervillains, atom bombs, flying saucers, artificial icebergs in Sydney Harbour, and more. The comic is variously titled 'The Adventures of Silver Flash and his Frog-men' (a few early issues), 'Silver Flash and his Frog-men', and simply 'Silver Flash' from number 17 onwards. Virgil Reilly (1892-1974) was a prolific artist for newspapers and other popular publications of the day. 'Silver Flash' ceased publication when Invincible Press changed ownership; Reilly then published just three issues of the sequel, 'Captain Silver Flash', with Calvert Publishing. [50 Items]. …
