I used to love it when the papers arrived and inside would be my comics. Like most people I was bought up on Beano and Dandy but I had other favourites as well.
The Beano was great and my favourites were:
Bash St Kids, Dennis the Menance, Rodger the Dodger, Billy the Wizz, Lord Snooty, Minnie the minx but my favourite was General Jumbo - he had some sort of remote control on his arm and he could control all his toy soldiers- fantastic!
Dandy faves were Korky the cat, beryl the peril and desperate dan.
My sisters used to have Bunty ( I used to borrow it and read the Four Marys) - i do remember the back page having some sort of cut out dresses etc which my sister used to regularly cut out and use on some cardboard doll.
Other girly one's were Jackie -( there was always some soppy romance going on with speech bubbles over the characters in the storyline.,) I also remember other girly comics in the house, namely Judy, Tammy and Twinkle - i never read them of course!!
My favourite comic was Victor - you had Alf Tupper (Tough of the Track) , Morgyn the Mighty and Gorgeous Gus(some earl who played football - he always came on with his team 2-0 down, 2 minutes to go and scored a hat trick!!
I used to go round my friends houses and we would spend hours swapping comics and reading them.
Do you remember any of these?
Beezer, Buster, Commando comics, Hornet, Hotspur, Sparky, Topper, and Valiant.
Would love to hear your stories about comics.
