The Beano, after my brother had read it.
Our school really was like Bash Street.

Can't beat The Beano
I had to get it every week and loved Dennis & Gnasher, The Bash Street Kids, Minnie the Minx, Rodger the Dodger. It was like mischief was acceptable.

I had a comic called Twinkle, I really liked it because there were a lot of tacky free gifts!

My favourite comic as a kid growing up in the early 80s was Eagle, featuring a wonderful mixture of photo stories and comic strips. My favourite characters were Dan Dare and Doomlord; the latter of whom was pretty terrifying but the stories were brilliant. Sadly they don't make them like that any more.

I loved Whizzer & Chips comic you used to get 'great' free gifts with them, or I thought they were great anyway, and my favourite character was Sid's snake

I used to read Bunty and Jackie when i was a young girl.
My eldest Son loved the Beano and i remember collecting all The Joy of Knowledge books including all the index books for my younger Sons.
Cost me a fortune.

I used to love Just Seventeen because of all the cool articles and stories.

I loved the Beano and the Dandy. Favourite characters were Beryl the Peril, Dennis the Menace, Desperate Dan, Oor Wullie and the Broons.
I later moved on to the Girl magazine, but secretly preferred...and devoured... my brother's copy of the Eagle....

Oh yes, I had Look and Learn for years. Although Judy was my favourite, I used to read it on the garage roof away from my annoying little brother!

I had Robin and then graduated to Girl. tbqh, I really don't remember any characters but I do remember reading an article in Girl about Chad Varah which has remained with me all these years and also one about Kathleen Ferrier who is one of my favourite operatic singers. Strange what stays with you confused. After I went to boarding school I was only allowed Look & Learn which I found boring, being a pubescent 11 year old grin.
