Here is another annual special this time from Valiant comic. The cover pictured above features the main charactor Sylvester [aka The Spellbinder] an alchemist from centuries ago. Sylvester is featured in most of the comicstrips in the book. Besides the comicstrips there are short stories, a monster movie quiz [see above], a feature on Dracula and his guises, weird facts from around the world told in a comicstrip type format, feature on Houdini, Chung Ling Soo, Lafayette, etc, I really like some of the atmospheric illustrations featured throughout the book, especially the one featured above by Geoff Campion, other ones by Joe Colquhoun, Eric Bradbury are equally as nice and atmospheric. I have never really seen any issues of Valiant so I am not sure if any of the characters such as The Spellbinder were one of the regular characters featured in the comic.

I would like to do a scan of the whole book sometime, its just getting round to it, but if I eventually do I shall post a link for anyone that wants to download it.

I will get round to doing a full scan sometime, but you have to realise that it is very time consuming and its just having the time to do it.
Its on gen lib and the uk comics blog. Spellbinder wasna regular in Lion the Valiant from 69 to about 75.
I brought the book on Ebay for a few pounds a couple of years ago...the artwork is still exquisite and timeless..
