Photo Story Magazines 15

 Thanks to Sven for these great scans of rare Photo Story Magazines from his collection.
 
This is the very first South African Photo Story of which a series would be made.  The photo depicts the front cover of issue no 1 of "Kyk", published in 1960.  A few months later, its English counterpart "See" would follow.

It would be a full five years later before the next photo story, and also the first series featuring a titular character, would follow, being "Mark Condor" in 1965.  He was followed by "Dr Conrad Brand" and then "Ruiter in Swart" in 1966.
