Lion Annual #1959

Lion Annual 1959 is an anthology featuring multiple stories. "The Spectre at Bay" follows Ron and Boko as they pursue M'wembe the Hunter into the African wilderness, tracking him through a mountain torrent and discovering clues about his mysterious nature and destination. In "Lucky Guffy Laughs Last," a bit-part film actor named Guffy dreams of stardom and pursues an opportunity with a film producer, leading to comic misadventures on a movie set where he accidentally damages valuable paintings and eventually receives recognition and payment for his "stunt work." Additional stories feature a futuristic robot encountering tribal warriors, and other action-adventure narratives typical of the period's boys' comic annuals.
