Fleetway Super Library was a comic published by Fleetway from 1967 to 1968. As its title suggests it followed the picture library format, albeit on a chunkier scale than usual: each issue was 132 pages long, containing a 122-page main story alongside back-up material such as a quiz or reprints of humour strips.

The Fleetway Super Library series was itself split into three smaller series, each with two protagonists. Stupendous, which was called Fantastic during the first month of its existence, followed the exploits of the Steel Claw (from Valiant) and the Spider (from Lion); the military-themed Front Line starred Maddock’s Marauders and Top-Sergeant Ironside, both of whom would migrate to Battle Picture Library following the demise of Super Library; and finally Secret Agent told the stories of Johnny Nero and the Lion hero Barracuda.

Super Library was not long-lived: it ended in January 1968 after a total of 78 issues, 26 for each sub-series. Steve Holland has argued that it could be regarded as Britain’s first series of graphic novels.

    Thanks so much! The memories I have as a kid running to the stores somewhere in a small town in South East Asia waiting to pick up the latest issue with the Spider in it. Sure brings back the memories. Just wished I’d kept them all when I had them. Oh well…

    Seem to be having trouble with download of “Barracuda” item “Underground Jungle’,

    I’ve downloaded it twice. Both times, I only get left-hand side of the page–and the pages appear to be out of order, at that!

        I downloaded from the command. beneath the cover of the issue shown.

        I got the “disable ad blocker” and did so for the site.
        Sometimes I get that prompt twice. When that happens, I know now to start over again, as I’m going to wind up with another download of one I have already downloaded.

        Curiously, stuff I download from Scanarama doesn’t give me these headaches.

          The same for me, sometimes i have these problems with Mediafire and sometimes i don’t. The same goes for Megaupload and not to mention some other downloadsites.

    I noticed in a few of the spider’s uploads, some scans were in A4 size or the original Fleetway frames split across pages. I know Spider was a regular in some of the weeklies around the same time period but wonder if it’s down to different scanning methods or were these stories got published anywhere else too.
