IS THIS THE WORST FREE GIFT EVER?

Copyright relevant owner

Arrived today at Castel Crivens, TARZAN Weekly #1 from 1977, a comic I originally bought back when I was yet a teenager, though I remember little about it apart from the cover.  (The colour, as you can see, is out of register on the replacement, but it's nice to have again anyway.)  It was published by BYBLOS PRODUCTIONS and lasted for 20 issues as a weekly, before becoming a monthly for a short while.

But wait!  What's this? A free super survival kit bag?  Sounds great, doesn't it, until you see that it's only an empty polythene bag.  Okay, not quite empty - it contains a sheet of paper telling you what you can put in it.  As a free gift, it's even worse that the paper bag (pretending to be a mask) given away in SMCW #1, which you pulled over your head to pretend you were SPIDER-MAN.

Anyway, I can no longer recall just how long I continued to buy this title, but I doubt I ever saw past issue #3.  Cop a gander at some of the internal pages and say whether this is a comic you'd have bought - or even did buy - back in the day.  The comments section awaits,
