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.

Admin: It seems in the post, the links for Double Agent and Traitor’s Trail are combined, which is fine. Though for Traitor’s Trail I have posted a better and hi-res upload in comments section. Just a suggestion:)

Boutje…your work is remarkable and nostalgic substance very much. Comics remain a symbol of entertainment right from childhood to old age. Your extensive work will be remembered ever. Recently I saw two issues of Fleetway comics in Tamil version. Formula X 13 and Vaanveli kollaiyar are the Tamil version of Fatal Formula and Call for Barracuda respectively. The Tamil version is from Muthu comics from Tamil Nadu (India). Both were published in 1970s. I like to see the original English version. I am sure it is not difficult for you to find the copies and upload for the pleasure of many…Good luck.
