Howard Baker Annual & Omnibus volumes (1972-1986)


Headland House

Howard Baker Gem volumes


Howard Baker published a variety of annual and omnibus volumes between 1972 and 1986: a Holiday Annual every Autumn (in homage to the original Greyfriars Holiday Annual, published every September from 1919 to 1940), and a number of other volumes. Most contained a mixture of stories about Greyfriars, St. Jim's and Rookwood, though a range of other comics and stories were included, as well as a number of articles.
