Description: Adventure was published by D.C. Thomson based in Dundee, Scotland. Adventure was the first of the 'Big Five', it ran for a total of 1878 issues between 17th September 1921 to 14th January 1961, where it then merged with 'The Rover'. One of the Big Five boys' story papers from D.C. Thomson (Others being, The Hotspur, The Rover, The Skipper and The Wizard). Featuring illustrated stories of Adventure, Sports, Schooldays, Crime, S.F. plus jokes. They bear no relation to the American pulps or, in fact, the British pocket libraries. They are in a class of their own being anthology story papers which appeared, for the most part, weekly and were aimed at kids and teenagers but were consumed also by many adults. The mix of illustrated serials of many genres, a few pages every week, ensured there was something for every reader in every issue - Comic Book+---------------------------------------------One of a number of similar items I am selling.

As New (AN): Although a used book, it should appear unread with no flaws, just as when it was sold new. Fine (F): Should have no flaws, a perfect copy of a used book. Mint: Another term for Fine. Near Fine (NF): May show a small flaw, such as shelf wear, but nearly perfect and unread. Very Good (VG): The broadest category for used books, this describes any average used book. May have small flaws, and has probably been read, but should appear overall clean and attractive. Good (G): Will probably have significant wear or damage, although is still intact. Suitable for reading, but not necessarily a good gift copy. The old saying in bookselling is "good ain't good." Fair: Another term for Poor or Reading Copy: Heavily worn or damaged, a poor book will be readable but not attractive. Binding Copy: This may or may not be the complete pages of the book, but the binding has been broken or damaged to the point it will need professional rebinding ------------------------------------------------OTHER INSTRUCTIONS - If paying with a cheque or postal order please make payable to 'A BROWN' and not blofieldbooks. Payment to be made within 3 days of purchase unless otherwise advised to avoid an 'unpaid item' case being opened.
