Published by J.B. Allen to start with and then Amalgamated Press from May 1949.
Popularity for this title has wained somewhat as early readers who collected it are now much older and not so plentiful. Notable for comic strips like Kit Carson, Dick Barton and Strongbow the Mighty. If you could find a first issue, £60-£75 in VG perhaps?
Kit Carson began in #113 (16th Sep 1950), Dick Barton in #247 (11th Apr 1963) and Strongbow the Mighty in #264 (8th Aug 1953). I will do more research when time allows. Unless anyone out there can help...?
