Mine was Judy, Mandy, Bunty and Diana. My mum reserved them at local newsagents and we'd collect on a Saturday morning I felt so grown up sitting on the sofa reading them. This thread has brought back some very happy memories :-)

I had Girl's Crystal every week and my best friend had Girl so of course we swapped! I don't remember any characters as it was so long ago! I do remember lots of stories about boarding schools and jolly japes! We re-enacted some of the adventures delving into the dressing up box to make it realistic!

I don't know what modern teenagers would make of these old comics now - They are probably reading 50 Shades of Grey!

Beano and Dandy, then Jackie & Bunty. Think I preferred Beano and Dandy! Beano definitely the winner though - always wanted to go to Bash Street School!

Used to love the day a comic was delivered to my nan's each week for me. Started off with Jack and Jill, then Bunty and then Jackie.

I had Judy,Bunty,later on Jackie.My brother had the Eagle and Roy of the Rovers.Our gran would also buy us the Beano,Topper and Dandy each time she collected her pension-happy days!

I used to have the 'Bunty' when i was @ school,I remember i won my first ever competition on there i won a tartan Scarf which my dad wore to work for years.My sister had 'The Beano' my favorite person was 'Minnie the Minx'.

I loved COR!! it was so funny and entertaining.I used to wait for it to come through the letter box and read it from cover to cover- I even got the album every Christmas too for many years- my favourite characters were Ivor Lott and Tony Broke! I was never interested in girls magazines as I was never a girlie girl. dolls and make up never interested me. I wanted to be up to mischief, climbing trees,making dens and swinging on ropes over rivers. I was a real daredevil, like many characters in COR!! I sill have the scars to prove it!

I used to adore Bunty which my Grandfather used to buy for me every week. Remember storing them in a pile in my bedroom and reading them over and over again. Such innocent times!

I remember reading Penny but can't recall any of the characters in it. I also loved Tammy, and as I was mad about gymnastics my favourite heroine was
Bella. A fellow gymnast who always had to battle against the odds.
I progressed onto Look-In (only 10p!) when I started getting interested in pop music, and now I have thought about the accompanying TV advert I can't get the jingle out of my head.

Bunty and Judy and then as I got older I had Jackie. Denis the Menace in Beano was a guilty secret!!

We only ever got a comic for the train journey when we went on our annual holiday, so with only one a year the one we chose was precious. My sister was only a year older than me so we chose together so we could swap, my brother was 4 years younger so he tended to choose Beano or Dandy, still worth a read though.

My sister and I chose with the free gifts in mind, one year I chose 'Jackie' because there was a free 'Elvis' ring included, when the ring fell apart I kept it and eventually it was attached to the collar of my biker jacket when my boyfriend got his first motorbike. Now at the age of 67 I still have that leather jacket, covered in fringes and badges and my Elvis ring is still attached to it.

I loved the Beano, and Bunty, with the Four Marys and later Misty,

I loved smash hits and Jackie them were the days

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

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

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 .

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

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

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!

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!

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

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 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 !!!!!!!!!!!

I loved the beano and the dandy especially desperate dan

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.
