Cover dated March 20th 1915, so that’s probably the day it went off-sale, actually! Anyway, this issue is interesting, because usually the double numbers were sold for double the price –...

The Sexton Blake Library turns 100. 19 September 2015, 5:02 pm. I don’t actually own this, I nicked the pic off an Ebay auction years ago. Fortunately, the first four issues were reprinted (apparently very hastily – many spelling mistakes! Not colour filtered in any way, only brightness and contrast!

Earlier in the year, I looked at a Boys’ Journal serial which began exactly 100 years (going by the cover date, anyway) prior to the post. I promised another “100 years later” post, and promptly forgot about. Oh well, 100 years and a week and a bit, then! Of course, the cover date could have been when it went off sale.
