Vulcan was a reprint title used by Fleetway to make use of its back-catalogue of superhero and adventure strips printed in Lion and Valiant during the 1960s and early 1970s. Format-wise, it was something of a departure for Fleetway’s comics, being the same size as an American comic, and featuring good quality paper.
After a trial run in Scotland from March 1975 with an issue dated 1 March 1975, the comic was launched nationally with an issue date of 27 September 1975. It continued for a further 28 issues (the last dated 3 April 1976) until being cancelled and merged with Valiant. Later in 1976 an annual was published.
The following series were amongst those reprinted in Vulcan:
– The Spider
– The Steel Claw
– Trigan Empire
– Robot Archie (which married the art from Bert Bus’ Dutch reprints with the original English scripts)
– Mytek the Mighty
– Saber, King of the Jungle
– Kelly’s Eye
– The House of Dolmann

Hi Dear boutje777,
Kindly needed to notify you, however the issue “Vulcan 1978-01-07” is mentioned with its cover, but on downloading the archive file it’s missing (only 3 issues not 4 in the archive file).
Thanks.

i have just found this site and it has saved me!!
Ive been trying to find Dollman,Leopard of Lime Street and Billy the cat for years
when i saw the Vulcan and Action collection!!
I had the opportunity to meet Dick Millington the artist for Buster and Chalky amongst others as a kid when I imagined a life of comic book art (he lived abot 2 miles from me in SE London/Kent) -a decent supportive bloke
Thanks soooo much for this site

I bought every issue of Vulcan that was published in Scotland in 1975/ 76. I knew that it had continued publication in Germany beyond that but I have never seen these 1978-1980 issues that you have on here. Were they published in the UK? I have never seen physical copies of these either at the time or now. Can you solve the mystery?

I believe those are fanmade issues.

Wow. That must have been quite a project.

I think that the Vulcan 1980-04-12 issue is fake, because the Doctor Who strip contained in it was produced by Titan Comics in the US in 2016 (see https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Gaze_of_the_Medusa_(comic_story))

I believe all issues from the 80’s are fanmade.
