Cowboy Picture Library 450, 452, 454, featuring covers by Jordi Penalva, interiors by Alberto Breccia and Jose Bielsa
Book Palace has a new selection of British Pocket Library comics on offer including scarce, hard to source late issues of Cowboy Picture Library.
The last 150 issues of this series – which include art by creators such as Jordi Panalva, also well known for his work on DC Thomson’s still-published Commando comic, had diminishing print runs and are consequently extremely hard to find in any condition.

All covers by Jordi Penalva
All the latest additions to their British Comics catalogue are here, including for October 2018, good sets of Buck Ryan and John Steel, alongside issues of Super Detective Library, and “Jet Ace Logan” issues of Thriller Picture Library.
There’s also been a significant restock of rare Eagle volumes from the 1950s.
