FLEETWAY
KNOCKOUT ANNUAL 1983
Knockout had a good run as an Annual. A long original series when the comic and Annual handled text as well as cartoons, and then a second series when it served as a cartoon only publication with added puzzles.
This 1983 edition is well up to scratch, with a good array of UK cartoonists contributing. Only regular Terry Bave gets credits, but there is a nice feel about the artwork.
Sadly in 1985 Knockout ceased publication and the world became a little bit greyer.
The book is in VG condition with the following faults
Light rubbing to the cover boards and wear to the corner of the front cover board.
The crossword and the dot to dot have been neatly completed.
The book is otherwise clean and bright, unclipped and not marked.
8.25 out of 10
I sell mostly second hand books and I try to convey overall condition by rating out of 10. New would be 10, whilst anything over 9 would be collectible in that the book would be lightly read, and with no damage or wear. An 8 rating would be a decent copy, appropriate for its age.
Once it gets a 7 rating, then there will be faults that you should consider carefully. 6 or lower are generally reading copies or collection fillers that are offered because of their rarity or interest. Again, check the faults carefully.
