What was your favourite comic as a child?

Beano and Dandy and as my dad owned a newsagent shop I used to sit under the counter and read them.

School Friend and Girl. I still have a Girl, Christmas album .

I remember Walter Hottle Bottle too

Yay! Someone who remembers Walter Hottle Bottle 😄.
I remember a lot of the comics mentioned here, especially Jackie, Judy, Bunty, Beano. I also remember Andy Pandy, with affection - Beryl the Peril 🤣

I had School Friend which was delivered by the newsagent. I desperately wanted to change to Girl - it seemed much more colourful, but was told by my father that I would not and certainly would not be allowed to inconvenience him (the NA) by changing my mind continually! One comic was considered more than enough, I wasn’t supposed to buy others with my pocket money, I used to enjoy visiting a friend who had no less than three all at the same time, one of which was Film Fun.

'Sunny Stories'

Swift was my favourite, although I can't remember much about it now. Then I was thought to be old enough for Girl, but didn't like that as much. I wasn't allowed to get Bunty or Judy for some reason, but I did read some belonging to my friends and quite liked them.

Oh, and Thd Dandy!!

Topper, and then the Beano.

Me too - but the other way round.

Twinkle was my favourite, then Pink when I was almost a teen.
I read anything I could get my hands on.

Does anyone remember Walter Hottle Bottle from the Jack and Jill comic? Walter was a magic hot water bottle that came to life in a little boy's dreams at night, and took him on adventures.

My mum used to read this story and many others to my brother and I in the mid-1960s. I remember I always loved stories about Walter Hottle Bottle ❤️.

Do you recall your favourite comic/character?

Oh yes Jack and Jill. My first comic. I remember Walter Hottle Bottle too as well as Harold Hare! Liked the puzzle page as well. Then I progressed to Bunty, Diana and finally Jackie.

Ah, I do remember Harold Hare but didnt realize it was in Jack and Jill.

I started with Robin ( Andy Pandy, The Flower Pot Men) . Then I moved on to Girl, but can't remember any of the characters. I think they were all too worthy for my taste. My brother took Eagle so I followed Dan Dare and his adventures, which were also on Radio Luxembourg.

Beano and Dandy were more fun - Desperate Dan, Beryl the Peril, The Bash Street Kids ... never to be forgotten.

Here is the very first issue of Judy which I remember well because of the plastic flower bracelet. According to the article below it was 6th January 1960.

Sandra of the Secret Ballet was in Judy. One of my favourite characters, I was obsessed with points and kept drawing legs and feet with ballet shoes on.

Check out the stories in these magazines. The people who wrote them had such imaginations! Lots of adventures, no wonder we loved them.

Bunny definitely.

Eagle, and when I went to boarding prep. school it was the only one allowed, anyway. But then the son of the creator of Captain Condor on page one of Lion entered the school, so that had to be allowed as well.

No comics at next boa4ding

No comics at next boarding school, but it was good to see Eagle again in the college junior common room at university.

Bunty then I think Jackie!

Me too but I remember the Jack and Jill too which dad bought me as a small child when he collected his Sunday papers.

Then Jackie.. & Fab 208.

Bunty and then Jackie for a little while.
Seem to remember posters of David Cassidy/Donny Osmond, though my preference was for David Bowie.

School Friend, also the Enid Blyton magazine.

Girl

That’s so sad Grandma70s. Did your parents not approve of them? They were such innocent fun.

I wasn’t allowed to have comics, but I always secretly longed for School Friend.

Bunty and Judy

Bunty and School Friend. Beano and Dandy occasionally.
Then Petticoat and Honey. I loved them all.

Girl's Crystal, I remember hoping it would pop through the letter box early so I could catch up with my serial before school.

Schoolfriend Bunty and Girl can’t remember anything about them though apart from the names
