Unlike the Buffalo Bill annuals, the Adventure series was not numbered. It also tended to contain a much higher percentage of reprinted American material and shows evidence of much less research. unlike the Buffalo Bill Wild West Annuals, the covers of the adventure series seldom had anything to do with the interior. The first of these publications was probably Ajax Adventure Annual which may have appeared as early as 1949 (or as late as 1952). Presuming that the 1949 date is correct which does seem likely, then the order of the adventure series is probably Ajax Adventure Annual in 1949; Adventure Annual, 1950; Okay Annual of Adventure, 1951; Okay Adventure Annual, 1952; Okay Adventure Annual, 1953; Okay Adventure Annual, 1954; and New Spaceways Comic Annual #1, 1955. Both Adventure Annual and New Spaceways Comic Annual feature Roy Carson and Swift Morgan stories. New Spaceways also features a variety of Quality super-hero reprints including Plastic Man and Doll Man and has art by Reed Crandall and Matt Baker making it, of all the Boardman annuals, the most desirable to collectors in the United States.
