The dreaded Poll Tax wasn't the only thing visited on
Scotland before the rest of the country. VULCAN appeared
on February 22nd 1975 (cover-dated the week ahead) in Caledo-
nia, nearly 7 months before the National edition debuted on Sep-
tember 20th (cover-dated 27th). More like an American comic
in size, it sadly only managed to last 58 issues (30 Scottish
and 28 National), but it was great while it lasted.
Comprised of reprints of classic U.K. strips like KELLY'S
EYE, The STEEL CLAW, The TRIGAN EMPIRE, The
SPIDER, MYTEK The MIGHTY, ROBOT ARCHIE (taken
ant translated from Dutch comic SJORS), etc., the title merged
into VALIANT on APRIL 3rd 1976 (cover-dated 10th). Sadly,
Valiant ended after another 6 months, 'though Vulcan's name
had vanished from the masthead the previous issue.
