Vulcan No. 12, dated 13 December 1975. The Spider cover by Reg Bunn (d. 1971). The art was reused from interior artwork.
Vulcan reprinted strips that had already appeared in other titles.

Original Spider page, by the under-respected Reg Bunn. Love his work!
The Incredible Adventures of Janus Stark Volumes l-lll from the Treasury of British Comics.
Sometimes when you go back and re-read some of these old comic stories they really don't live up to your memory. Happy to say that Janus Stark does not disappoint and his adventures are among the better collections from the Treasury.
I think it's partly the atmospheric art that matches the dark and foggy Victorian London setting of Tom Tully's stories so well. There are a number of artists contributing to the three volumes to date but you don't tend to notice the changeover between them. Francisco Solano Lopez contributes most of the art but you also get quality work from Reg Bunn, Franc Fuentes Man and Jaime Brocal Remohi.
I like the format of these as well. Card cover and 48 pages on good quality paper. My only complaint would be about the publishing schedule. It would be nice if they could get one of these out every 6 months or so as the present schedule seems to be once a year.

Vulcan No. 28 dated 3 April 1976. The Spider cover by Reg Bunn (d. 1971). The art was reused from interior artwork. Vulcan reprinted strips that had already appeared in other titles. Treasury of British Comics.
Did you know Reg Bunn, co-creator of “The Spider”, published in Lion, is honoured as part of a £2.5 million refurbishment of The Navigation pub in Kings Norton? You do now!

These contain the very first adventures of The Spider that appeared in the Lion comic from June 1965 to June 1966. Also included is the Spider story from the 1967 Lion Annual (which would have been published around Aug/Sept 1966).
