So as i mentioned just read the second half usually referred to as Polpelly Christmas, The Magnet issues #1452-1455.
Its good, i was tempted to give it 4 stars at some points. Adventure, humour, secret passages, mystery, danger, racism the gangs all here :P . For some reason the main badguys keep getting called dagoes, even though they're italian, don't you just hate it when people use the wrong racial epitaph ;) .
Bunter does his best Scooby impression blundering in and spoiling enemy plans by accident, but they also manage to get him out of the story for a while which is good as too much Bunter can get pretty annoying.
Some decent characterization of the other characters too. In fact one of them goes dark, like Nolan's batman dark... but luckily avoids Snyder's batman dark.. nobody needs that ;) .
Its a bit episodic which would make sense, issue to issue but here it happens chapter to chapter even though the chapters are published together. Not much point in a cliffhanger when the continuation is literally right next to it.

Glad i read the original magazines as one of them included the delightful (this is sarcasm) section, the 'Greyfriars Nigger Review' (it gets worse) which is a set of instructions on how kids can perform their own Black and White Minstrel show for christmas, fun for the whole family (not) :lol .

Various funny goings on at a boarding school. Its unusual in that the main character is so awful. He's lazy, stupid, greedy and sneaky (at least tries to be). Its quite difficult to make a story compelling with a main character like that but this makes it work.

Frank Richards, Down and out! Spring Books, c.1955, Hardback
Batsman, aghast, wearing blue and yellow cap, on front cover. One fielder is very close to the wicket.

It all revolves around this sentence on page 75 - 'They knew little of philately and of the value of rare stamps. But the fact was that Sir Hilton, in younger days, had bought that Blue Mauritius stamp for a mere five hundred pounds'....
