Comics you read as a kiddie

Jump to newest

Me? The Beano and Nutty as a regular weekly subscription. Had a brief flirtation with a more serious one called Champ until it was discontinued. Occasional dalliance with Whizzer & Chips (I was a Chipite rather than a Whizz kid!) and then Beezer.

I also used to take a sneaky look at my sisters ‘Jackie’ magazine and got quite an education about periods and sex from the problem page!

What comics / magazines did YOU read as a kiddie?

Bean and Dandy. My brother and I got one each with our pocket money and would swap.

My grandad gave me money every Saturday so I could get my Transformers comic, as well as Spiderman and Zoids.

My Nan and Grandad used to buy me two a week but one had to be educational - so used to have Victor (and later Warlord) and Look & Learn (which never really got read)

Then progressed onto Shoot and Match Weekly - and always had a read of my younger brother's Roy Of The Rovers and Whizzer & Chips.

Others I'd get on an occasional basis were Beano, Dandy, Topper and for longer car journeys I'd be allowed a Commando or two to keep me occupied

All my favourites have been mentioned!

Beano when I primary school - then graduated to Jackie, Blue Jeans and Just 17 at high school!

Much easier times to grow and develop in I think!

I started with Twinkle when I was little, then moved on to Misty and Scream as I was obsessed with the supernatural. I always read my brother's Shoot and Match too.

In secondary school Jackie, Smash Hits, Just Seventeen and More were shared around the classroom

Cheeky.

I even had the red and black striped jumper with a huge yellow letter C on it!

(Doubly apt because my first name also begins with C.)

Actually if the likes of Jackie, Just 17, Shoot and Match Weekly count as comics then another not mentioned is Smash Hits - the go to magazine for any teenage music fan before realising the likes of NME, Record Mirror and Melody Maker were better

I collected The Beano from the age of five to ten and I think I got Girl Talk from maybe 7 to 10.

Shout, Mizz and Bliss were from 11-14, though my mum banned me from buying Sugar (because of the sex problem pages) and More (because of the sex in general) so I just borrowed them off one of my friends instead.

I’ve started getting Viz again. Can get it by mail order now.

Bought a copy from WH Smith at airport. Self service check out, set alarm light off cos it’s over 18’s.

"Also use to get lots of think they were called commando small size war stories from jumble sales that's something else you don't see many of these days"

Yeah Commando was the one (see my earlier post) and they're actually still going today - flicked through one in Smith's recently - was a similar one called Battle I think but wasn't quite as good.

As for jumble sales - car boots, eBay and charity shops did away with those
