Just as European comics found new audiences across the English Channel during the postwar years, so too did British comics find their way into the hands of eager readers in such loyal dominions as Australia and New Zealand - albeit in a curious manner, brought about the strictures of postwar rationing.
Following my recent review of Commando: ANZACS at War, wherein we examined the evolution of Britain's unique 'picture library' comics format, British comics collector and historian Steve Holland has offered further insights into how various British comics were repackaged for the Australasian market, which in turn formed the basis for the 'picture library' series that became so popular during the 1950s and 60s. Check out The Original Cowboy Comics for further details. (Image courtesy of Book Palace)
