Newsprint with full color cartoon on front. The magazine has some edge and corner wear and expected age-toning of newsprint. Each issue features stories of interest mainly to teenage boys -- American cowboy stories, British mysteries. The feature of interest is the cover cartoon which is in full color and has racist images of blacks; two continuing white characters provide what was intended to be comic commentary. The stereotypical images of blacks along with the casually racist storylines show just how pervasive racist attitudes were in post-WWII England. ; Color and B&W Illustrations; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 181-192 pages.
