New here and have a question to ask.
Has From The Vaults Of Time strip,specifically the one where Professor Kraken rears some Dinosaurs from eggs found in the pothole,ever been re-printed in an uk annual?

From The Vaults Of Time
Re: From The Vaults Of Time
First appeared roughly April 1963 in Valiant & Knockout apparently. Googling only brought up two results - issues being sold on ebay. Don't know about any reprints.

I don't have time to check at the moment but I'm pretty sure it was reprinted in a Summer Special rather than an Annual (probably Valiant or Lion).

OK - I've managed to check and 'The Vaults of Time' was reprinted In two parts in the Valiant Summer Specials for 1967 and 1968. In addition the final Professor Kraken story, 'The Ogre from the Past' was reprinted in the 1970 Lion & Valiant Special Extra. My own favourite story in the series was 'The Time Machine', but I don't think this has ever been reprinted.
Incidentally 'Vaults' actually began in Knockout, like the strip that was arguably Solano Lopez's most famous series 'Kelly's Eye', and they only moved over to Valiant when the titles 'merged' in the issue dated 23rd Feb 1963. Altogether the Prof's dinosaur adventure ran from 24th Nov 1962 until 25th May 1963, and his further exploits lasted until 19th Sep 1964.
