Vulcan comic appears to have had a test run in Scotland
lasting 30 issues starting on the 1st March 1975 and ending on the 20th
September 1975. One week later the Vulcan national edition was launched on
27th September 1975 continuing the storylines from the Scottish edition.
Because the strips in Vulcan national edition continued directly from
the Scottish edition, most readers joined the storylines in the middle and
this fact may account for why Vulcan only lasted a further 28 issues before
merging with Valiant on
10th April 1976. Ironically, many of the strips in Vulcan first appeared in
Valiant.
Vulcan was essentially a reprint comic with Mytek the
Mighty, Kelly’s Eye, Trigan Empire, Saber, The Steel Claw, Robot Archie, and
the Spider coming from previous IPC titles. |
