Lion

Eagle' - 'Tiger' and now 'Lion' to join the 'Comic Cuts' range! First publication was 23rd February 1952 until cessation on 18th May 1974 with over 1100 copies published. Popular throughout the late 40's and 50's 'Lion' was an action filled comic, though it did carry some very worthwhile stories too. It's outer covers were in colour whilst the inside was usually in black and white. Captain Condor was the lead story for our magazine and shows him in action with his Robot Raiders (the year 3000) far fetched then, but not so much now! It's got a touch of James Bond and Dr. Who about it. The magazine was published weekly on Mondays and cost 3d. Some of its rival magazines were 'Hotspur', 'Wizard' and 'Rocket' at the time, plus many, many more. Our feature model is a Chevrolet. The Oxford Diecast Comic Cuts Lion made of Diecast Metal/Mazak is Number CC005 in the range.
