What was your favourite comic as a child?

I always thought Rupert was a bit weird. Scary even. Im not sure why!

My gran bought me a Rupert annual every Christmas, I loved books and reading, but I really did not like Rupert Bear

It was scary Kate, you’re right

School Friend and Girls Crystal and also remember sneaking a look at my Mum's Woman's Weekly so I could read The Robin Family.

I used to enjoy School Friend which I bought with my pocket money. I also enjoyed reading the Eagle which my bestie's brother got. I liked Dan Dare - even as a kid I was a scifi fan.

Girls Crystal and Film Fun

I'm glad it wasn't just me Sara.

I don't remember having a comic but I do remember getting the Rupert annual at Christmas.

I used to read Jackie at a friend's house and did ask my mum if I could have it too. I knew the answer would be no. A waste of money according to mum.

I loved Rupert Bear and I wanted to be Tiger Lily with a father called The Conjuror in Nutwood !

I remember collecting Bunty and Judy with Woman's
Weekly for my Grandma from the Newsagents . Buying stuff for Grandma meant that I could have all sorts of illicit things .

My mother read The Lady and we had Horse and Hound .

Later , I wanted to read Jackie and my mother said that it was far too racy and common !

Then came , Petticoat and there was no way that I'd not get a copy .

Grayling1, I used to sneak a read of Woman`s Weekly, but I got a clout once when I asked what a womb was!

Bunty and Judy followed by Jackie. My brothers had the Beezer.

Thanks for reminding me of the Robin Family. Such lovely memories.

We had Sunny Stories, and always the Beano which my Dad had ordered for himself before any of us were born. When I was about 10 I had June and Schoolfriend, and then Jackie.

I had Girl and School Friend, and seem to remember them being delivered on a Tuesday. My brother had Eagle.
Money was tight, so I'm surprised that we had comics, but I did love Tuesdays.

My parents (well, my Dad) weren't keen on comics but when Girl arrived on the scene in the wake of the boys' Eagle, and the minister's family had them, we were able to have Girl and School Friend. I really preferred the Eagle which had a space story - Dan Dare, pilot of the future.

Robin then progressed to Girl. At boarding school we were only allowed Look and Learn.

Loved Bunty.

Thanks from me too.

I don't remember Twinkle - I think I am too old

Yes. Just looked it up. Twinkle started in 1968.

Bunty, followed by Jackie, Patches and Smash Hits, followed by the NME and Melody Maker. Happy carefree days.

Bunty and Princess with free gifts my dad liked Topper Beano and Dandy

The Beano, the Dandy and the Eagle. Definitely no girlie stuff!

My favourites too, passed on via my grandmother by a family of boys, so no girlie stuff for me and my sisters either.

Was it Bunty that had the cut out doll on the back with paper cut out clothes, shoes bags etc? I loved that but it was annoying that the fold back flaps that attached the clothes to the doll never stayed in place and the clothes fell off!

I had Bunty and June and Schoolfriend, on Monday, my brother had Dandy; and I got Judy on Wednesday, with Beano for brother. At weekends we got Beezer and Topper. We were very lucky to get the summer specials as well and the annuals for Christmas.

I found hundreds of Bunty and Judy comics on a couple of DVDs on eBay. It was great to be able to relive my childhood again.
