When you were younger did you ever read comics or magazines?

Who were your favourite characters?

I had Beano and Dandy, Desperate Dan and Korky the Cat

Then used to get Smash Hits

Transsexual Transylvania

Valiant, Hotspur, Warlord, Battle, Look & Learn.

Amongst all the jingo "take that, Fritz" bs in the war comics, there were a couple of genuine gems:

"Charlie's War" is today recognized as a genuinely subversive anti-war classic set in WW1. It's even been re-released in graphic novel format.

There was a series about a German paratrooper named (what else) Fallman. Very sympathetically portrayed.

These were stories that genuinely changed my perspective.

Charley's war should be taught in schools. It's visually stunning, meticulous and shocking. It's hard to believe that I was reading such historical and subversive stuff when I was 9.

Loved the Beano and The Dandy growing up

Billy Wizz, Calamity James and Bash Street Kids were my favourites

Desperate Dan and Korky the Cat were the obvious Dandy favourite.......which one was Banana Man in?

Beano?

Was also prone to the adventures of Marvel and DC (and that was well before Downy Jr uttered the iconic Iron Man line)

Metal Hammer which I still buy, Teorrorizer, Raw. I have five long boxes of comics which I'm going to start selling and save every magazine I buy.

Oh yes lots and lots of comics. Beano, Dandy, Sparky, Buster, Valiant then later Warrior and 2000AD. Supplemented by lashings of DC comics too. I liked Marvel as well but the colours were always brighter in DC. Then a bunch of people my age(ish) started producing more grown up comics like Watchmen, Dark Knight, Batman Year One, Sandman etc so I still love them
