  2011 is the fiftieth anniversary year of 'The Victor' comic, Britain's 'top boys' paper for War, Sport and Adventure'. Following 2010's successful publication of The Best of the Victor , Prion's sequel is this rip-roaring anthology of the best stories from The Victor Book for Boys , which was the bestselling DC Thomson annual published from 1964 to 1994. In its heyday in the 1960s The Victor comic sold over half a million copies a week, with The Victor Book for Boys selling over a quarter of a million copies a year. DC Thomson's long-serving editor Morris Heggie has selected the very best and most evocative two-colour stories and picture stories from the 31 annuals to make one crackingly good nostalgiafest that will appeal not only to Britain's millions of grown-up Victor fans but also to their children who can be introduced to these Best of British comic-strip adventure yarns for the very first time.
