The Adventures de Biggles #04 W. E. Johns & A. De Vine

THE ADVENTURES OF BIGGLES

THERE WAS AN AUSTRALIAN COMIC IN THE 1950’S THAT RAN TO AT LEAST 78 ISSUES AND CONTAINED A MIXTURE OF
“W.E. Johns” biggles stories and stories written by others especially for the comic.

However there was an attempt to publish stories from this Australian comic in the UK.
It was apparently unsuccessful as only nine issues of the “British edition” of the comic were ever published.
This web page displays those nine issues and gives guide to the contents.

Published by “strato publications ltd., London.  W.1” – drawings are credited to “albert de vine”
Each magazine was 9.5 inches by 7 inches or 24.5 cm x 18 cm

Issue four of “The Air Adventures of Biggles” is again undated.


It also ran to 68 pages (including the covers)
There are three “Biggles” stories and two other stories in the comic.

“The Saboteur – Part I” ran to 12 pages (although the title doesn’t include the words “Part I”)

"The Saboteur  – Part II” ran to 12 pages

“Missing Cameraman” ran to 12 pages

 By W. E. Johns  &  A. De Vine (Drawings)






The two other cartoon stories were “non-Biggles” stories and hence they are not illustrated here.
