Spider & Steel Claw reprints announced!

Dropping through people's letterboxes from today is the Smash! special...

It's US comic sized (rather than, say, over-sized like holiday specials used to be) and looks to have a lot of great strips, however my eye was mainly caught by this advert...

...it's the advert people have been waiting a long time for - finally some Steel Claw and Spider reprint volumes from The Treasury of British comics - roll on February 2021!
