What comics did you read as a child?

My mother didn’t allow comics, but our cousins had Bunty, Dandy and Beano and I’d avidly devour them at every visit. As soon as our boys began to read I always bought them comics, most of their general knowledge came from the Beano, so many great facts were hidden in those pages.

My brothers had Beano and Dandy, my wee sister had Twinkle, I had Diana, occasionally Bunty and Judy, and then Jackie. I loved the free gifts. All D.C.Thomson, I think?

I read a comic with Harold Hare and Tiny Mole, can't remember its name though.

My sister had Bunty and I had Mandy later on it was Jackie.

I started off with Robin and then moved on to Swift and later to Girl. Topper started when I was about 10 and was really good. with all sorts of interesting stuff on the centre pages. I sometimes bought Schoolfriend but it wasn't as good as Girl. When I was about 7 or 8 I loved the Roy Rogers comic as well.

Jackie and Bunty.

If I remember rightly on Monday we had the Beezer abd the dandy and on Wednesday we had the topper and the Beano..

I had Bu ty every week and loved the back page with the cut out doll and clothes. My cousins who were older had Jackie and they kept them to pass on to me.

We had Look and Learn and I think my brother had Harold Hare. Later I had Bunty and he had The Eagle. I think Beano or Dandy was in there somewhere, too.

I loved the Bunty annual and the Bunty summer specials.

I distinctly remember getting the very first issue of Judy in 1960 which I thought was a wonderfully exciting event, especially as they were giving away a little flowery plastic bracelet.

I had the the Bunty, Judy, Diana, Jackie when I was a bit older. But my favourite was the Hotspur, Mum never cancelled it when my older brother left home to join the RAF. Both my g’dad and I enjoyed reading it, in my case it was because I thought the stories were much more exciting than the ones in the girly comics.

Topper and Bunty….I loved Beryl the Peril, also had her annuals .

School Friend and Girl. Loved it when they plopped through the letter box with the papers

Chicks Own

Girl.

Had annuals every Christmas

I’m pretty sure I used to have one called Playhour, but could be wrong, a very long time ago, but there was Nurse Susan and Doctor David, Walter Hottlebottle and lots of things to colour.
I also had one called Diana, and I think one called Tammy, like most women of my time, ended up with Jackie.

I had Bunty, my sister had Judy. still got all my Bunty annuals, very well thumbed and tatty, but I only have to glance at the stories and can remember them so well.

Think the comic was 4d in old money.

Princess Tina was my fave

I had Bunty every week and loved the back page with the cut out doll and clothes

Me, too, travelsafar. I used to make other clothes for them. I’m sure this interest was due to my own very limited range of clothes when growing up in the Fifties.

The ones I had that I remember were June & School Friend, Mirabelle & Jackie

We had Playhour, then Princess (was that the one who had stories of a girl who was very good at swimming ??) then ended up with Jackie.

I don’t know which one it was, but there was a story I think called Tenderfoot, he was a young Indian Brave and had to complete about a dozen tasks, but he had been poisoned so was too weak, and his sister did them for him.
I absolutely loved it.

Had the Children’s Newspaper until I made so much fuss that I was allowed School Friend instead. Can still remember reading it as I walked to school on Tuesday mornings (think it was Tuesday but someone may know better).

'Sunny Stories' and my big brother had the Eagle.

I was just about to ask if I had dreamed 'Sunny Stories' boheminan and then you posted! I remember that so clearly as it was a small sized comic - about A5 in today's language?
Strange how memories flood back - I remember staying overnight at my Nan's house and she came in to check if I was asleep - I was flat on my back, rigid as a pole pretending to be asleep! Of course she pulled the bedclothes back to find me clutching Sunny Stories!!! She was a darling Nan - all we did was laugh as there was no way I could fool her and my Mum never ever knew!!!
