This Day In Arf History: The Victor Debuts

On this day in 1961, The Victor Book for Boys, a British comic book, debuted. It featured adventure stories and was aimed at the “Daring Boy” who could appreciate the heroism of the comic’s main characters. The cover of each weekly featured a story about British forces during either WWI or WWII.

I.T.C.H is looking forward to your thoughts. Please, no flame. Thanks!
