Valour Vol 1

Valour was a short lived, fantasy themed weekly title launched by Marvel UK on 5th November 1980. Early issues featured reprints of American Marvel strips including Conan, Dr Strange, Devil Dinosaur and Jack Kirby's classic Tales of Asgard, while later issues included such features as Weirdworld and Merlin. The first issue, which ran to 32 pages and was slightly larger than subsequent issues, carried as a free gift the first part of a Devil Dinosaur jigsaw, with issues 2 and 3 carrying further sections. The title ran for just 19 issues until 11th March 1981, when it was merged into its rather more successful Sci-Fi themed sister title, Future Tense with issue #20 of that title.

There was also a Valour Winter Special published in November 1980, which featured reprints of Dr Strange and Thor, as well as a free colour centrefold poster.
