I really loved the 'gold' badge of a girl's head that came with the first issue of the Girl comic.

My own personal favourite was School Friend.

Children's comics today seem to be based purely on TV characters and some of the content is really rubbishy in my opinion. Not like when I was a little girl.......smile. I loved Girl and had the annual each Christmas - that was me sorted for the day! I was also lucky enough to have other comics and annuals, Bunty included, but it was Girl and Susan of St Brides for me.

My mother-in-law, bless her, was so relieved when her eldest son married at the age of 36, because it meant that she could finally stop buying Eagle comic! I`ve recently bought my youngest grandson a comic, In The Night Garden, and got such a shock when I saw the price, £1.99! They`ve gone up a bit since I last bought one, quite a few years ago!

...I've just written on that thread that there are some old Buntys on ebay; I SO want to see them. Remember when they gave out little gifts..those black scottie dogs etc?

On the Favourite Christmas songs or carols topics I saw that Grannyli had said that she loved the Bunty annual, so did I ! Not only did I have the annual for christmas I also had the comic most weeks, I loved them. Who can forget the four Mary's ?
I think I started with the Playhour comic but as I got older I went on to have Beryl the Peryl comic and annuals.
I also seem to remember having Lady Penelope comic ( of Thunderbirds) for a while before before I grew up (or so I thought!) and started having the Jackie magazine (note; no longer called comic too grown up for that wink) But I will always remember the Bunty with fondness smile
