Lion Picture Library issues 21-34

Following on from part one (here) and part two (here) of my guide to Lion Picture Library here's my (slightly incomplete) guide to issues 21-34

After issue 34 they don't appear to have named lead characters on the front cover so I've stopped my researches there. As ever, if you can help fill in any of the blanks just get in touch. Thanks to Steve Holland who's helped with the lead characters for some of my gaps.

Following on from my post yesterday about Lion Picture Library's unusual 'habit' of naming who is the lead character in each issue of the library here's my guide to Lion Picture Library issues 11-20 (of which I own none, images are swiped from the internet).

Lion Picture Library issues 1-10

I've looked (here) at rare Captain Condor merchandise, and in the course of those researches discovered that he'd been featured in a few issues of Lion Picture Library.


When I started looking for which issues I couldn't find a group of images anywhere so I had to rustle up my own list...what's most interesting to me is how these early issues had a named character in them rather than a hero you'd never come across before. Does that mean that these were strips reprinted from the comics? I'm not sure as I don't own any of these picture libraries. If you think you can hep just let me know.

For now though here's part 1 of my guide to Lion Picture Library, enjoy!
