D.A.F.C Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 When I was wee it was the Beano mainly, tried the Dandy but really only liked bananaman. Used to enjoy the special wee comic annuals they did as well. Had the first ever transformers comic which would now be worth a few bob but read it so much it was wrecked. At Christmas used to get the beano/dandy books plus oor Willie and the broons. My cousins used to collect 2000ad which I thought were pretty cool but never really got into the superhero stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeWhoWalksBehindTheRows Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Big Comic Fortnightly, loved this comic. That and whatever cartoon was into at the time, usually Turtles, which folded out to a massive poster, or Thundercats which gf re-bought the first 5 as a present. Was surprised that they were part of the Marvel universe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Beano and Dandy, then Victor and Hotspur (Gott In Himmel!), then 2000AD, then onto whichever porno was found in the local hedge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmcleanscontacts Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 The Beano. Much better The Dandy.'Match' too if it could be included as a comic. Used to love finding out who Rochdale beat or what the crowd was at Boothferry Park. Braw posters too when you're 8 and 9. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 The usual beano and sandy's like most folk. Commando comics too, wish I'd kept them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I started off with The Dandy as a kid, I then graduated into The Victor. As a teenager I had a brief dalliance with The Fantastic Four before moving onto more alternative stuff like Deadline and American underground stuff like The Furry Freak Brothers. I've still got a reasonable collection, but most of them are over 25 years old. My Marvel comics are full of adverts for NES games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillonearth Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 The first one I ever really bought under my own steam was Action, which was a short-lived violent-as-f**k publication from the mid-70s that I believe was some kind of indirect forerunner to 2000AD. It only lasted less than a year from memory before from being withdrawn from sale after a public outcry...heady times... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Clyde Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 The Victor annual for Christmas was brilliant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Beano and Dandy regularly, occassional beezer, topper, whizzer and chips. Victor fairly regularly, had a load of commandos. "this one's for you Fritz! Kabloom!" Yas. Liked but didn't read a lot of fantastic 4 and hulk. Also read Archie and jughead for some reason Just remembered Mad as well. Spy vs spy between the panes and the folding page were the highlights of that. Vaguely remember a brief dalliance with Oink as a gateway to Viz and Zit towards the end of childhood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it was that issue, with the chain-wielding thug and the policeman cowering below, that led to a media outcry (it was dubbed The Sevenpenny Nightmare) and questions being raised in Parliament and publication being suspended. It came back months later but had lost all of its edge. Sales dwindled and it merged with Battle. There's an excellent history of it here. https://downthetubes.net/?page_id=33280 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
