SWORD Summer SOLO Comic Strip Issue 30

Well Swordheads, the Summer of SWORD was nearly over back in '67 and it is in 2010. Between the last sunny days, the winds are getting up and the rain's starting to pour. Issue 30 0f SOLO on the 9th September saw the last of the comic strip format for SWORD - ending with an ad for some of the toys - a nifty bit of product placement [bit like the whole strip really!]. There was [and is] one more installment of SWORD in Solo in the form of a all-text story. Same time next week - 'the fight to the finish'!

Big Thanks to the Philosophic Toad for all his scans. Mucho Bufo.
