my mum bought me look and learn and diana every week.

My parents didn't have money to buy us comics, but we read The Broons and Oor Wullie in The Sunday Post newspaper every week, and at Christmas always got a Broons or Oor Wullie Annual which we would read before breakfast. 'Maggie Broon' seemed a very glamourous character to me, and having 'weans' about the house would have meant always someone to play with. I probably would have liked to have been part of that big family as a child!
You sometimes got a bundle of old comics that someone else was finished with and that was great, so I did see the occasional Bunty, Beano and Dandy.

Beano for me ��

I was bought Jack and Jill followed by School Friend. My parents thought School Friend was 'suitable'! in my teens my pocket money didn't often stretch to magazines and comics, but I did buy Girl sometimes.

I loved the buster comic

I loved 'Bunty' then 'Girl' magazines.

Bunty & Judy annuals with enticing things to do inside

I liked the Rupert Bear Annual and especially all the competitions in the comics

I loved the Beano, Billy Whizz and The Bash Street Kids being my faves but then went on to 2000AD. Rogue Trooper had a strange but funny sense of humour that appealed to me

As a child I loved the Beezer , out every Tuesday, I really looked forward to reading it, and occasionally it would have a free gift inside, a balloon or a whizzer. at Christmas if funds would stretch my mum would buy me the Beezer annual... I loved the smell of a new book.

Loved reading Jackie and the problem pages.

I loved so many- some that come to mind are the Numb Skulls from Beezer comic, Milly O Naire and Penny Less, Whizzer and Chips was brilliant too!

Worthy but slightly dull , The Girl was the allowed comic in our house but I secretly read borrowed copies of the Bundy and Judy under the bedclother by torchlight. I longer to go to boarding school so the Four Marys were my favourite characters.

I loved the beano and the dandy especially desperate dan

I wasn't given a comic each week, but maybe if special gifts I got one.
I was passed on those 'Look and Learn' comics.
They were wonderful to me and far better than boring encyclopaedias, which were just writing and no glorious pictures.
I must admit I still like picture books the best !!!!!!!!!!!

Used to read Girl and School Friend when I was younger - and joined their fan clubs of course!

Can't really rmemebre the characters very well - don't remember regular ones but I loved the stories

I loved Beano - and Dennis the menace has to be my favourite character x

When very young I loved Noddy, then graduated to Rupert Bear - his adventures were scarily exotic - and eventually to Jackie, where I even managed to have a couple of letters and strip cartoons published!

Without any doubt "The Eagle" and "Dan Dare" created by Frank Hampson, first published when I became 5, brilliantly printed in full colour on quality gloss paper, and it had a wonderful clean fragrance as well that made me save them to the horror of my Grandmother who did not appreciate clutter - compelling reading to boot!

I loved Bunty and Judy and as I reached my teens had Jackie, loved my comic books

My favourite was Bunty, I loved the stories and you often got a free gift.

Hi , I was not allowed comics, but would love reading some in friends homes, dandy and beano, I thought were stupidly funny !!
There were others I have forgotten , I think looking back at my life, that this ban held me back regards reading ! for I used to like Rupert the bear , and still do somewhat!
The pictures helped one learn to read the words, more so than comics!
I became a very causal reader, until after my children were born!
Sharing stories with them I found was so delightful, that I took to reading biography s and travel books!
My own children had comics , tried to buy story type ones, with info; of things to see and do!
Just had happy news great grandson George James arrived on St Georges day! My quota now stands at nine grand children and two GT, grandsons , with another baby due in sept: love them all .

It has to be Victor Book for Boys and Warlord for me, characters like Charley's War were epic for children, especially boys!

i was also a beano fan but my mother made me wear a brown fluffy hat and my brothers nicknamed me gnasher and it stuck for many years

I loved smash hits and Jackie them were the days
