The Adventures de Biggles #02 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

The Adventures de Biggles #02

Issue two of “The Air Adventures of Biggles” is again undated.
 It also ran to 68 pages (including the covers)

This time there are only two “Biggles” stories and three other stories in the comic.

“Indo China Intrigue – Part I” ran to 21 pages.  (Although the first page of the story says that this is “Part 1” this was printed as a complete story and the page count seems to indicate that two parts were printed together)


“Rescue Mission” ran to 10 pages

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
























There were then THREE other cartoon stories which were “non-Biggles” stories

Again, they are not illustrated

“The Crimson Comet” (uncredited) ran to 11 pages

“Tim Valour – Commander of the Famous Tigerhawks” by John Dixon ran to 11 pages

“The Crimson Comet” (uncredited) ran to 11 pages
