ITEM: Fireball XL5 Annual 1964 (the first issued)
GRADE: Upper grade
DESCRIPTION:
Copyright year 1963 on inside but regarded as the 1964 annual. Eric Eden
cover and endpapers. 8/6d price tag - this is intact. No name inscribed in the
Belongs To box. The colouring in page on page 33 is not as detrimental as you
may find with many examples. Considered scarce; cover shows characters in a row
along the bottom of cover.
Fireball XL5 would appear in TV Century 21 from issue #1 in January
1965.
Fireball comic strips: Unknown Planet (8
pages in colour); Commander Zero's Day (8 pages red monochrome); Prehistoric
Adventure (6 pages black and white - got the dates slightly wrong - dinosaurs a
million years ago!); Riot on Conva (4 pages in colour); The Pets of Proton (9
pages red monochrome); The Ice People (9 pages black and white); Derelict
Planet (4 pages in colour). Plus some illustrated text stories.
Overall a very nice copy of a genuine scarce annual.

I have been buying and selling comics for 40 years. I wrote the
Comic Book Price Guide for Great
Britain in book form from 1989 to 1998, now
updated online. I run the on-stage panels at the London SuperCon also interviewing eminent
artists and writers, with over 50 TV and radio appearances, as well as
producing, writing and presenting the TV series Comicana for the Sci Fi
Channel.
I value comics for insurance purposes and am happy to value your
comics and give you the best advice. I buy Golden, Silver and Bronze Age
comics, especially key issues. I also buy some British comics like Commando, TV
21, anything unusual and higher grade considered.
