1st printing. Written by Frank Richards. Art by Reg Bunn and Charles Henry Chapman. Introduction by Norman Wright. Billy Bunter had a long career at Fleetway. He began in hugely popular text stories and then went on to further fame as a purely slapstick character in the pages of Knockout and Valiant, where his depiction was almost totally unrelated to his original conception. The strips that appeared in Comet take us firmly back to the roots that established the popularity of the characters: exciting dramatic adventures featuring not only Billy Bunter but also the cast of other Greyfriars characters. This volume comprises the very best of the Comet Billy Bunter dramatic strips, including all those drawn by Reg Bunn ("The Famous Five") and C.H. Chapman ("Greyfriars School" and "Bunter of Greyfriars") that most admirers would consider the pick of the crop, or as Billy Bunter might say, the icing on the cake... Hardcover, 9-in. x 11-in., 224 pages, B&W. Cover price $54.99.
