Parley Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 When I was a kid in England, I absolutely loved Whizzer and Chips comics. I especially loved the annual hardcover comic book, which I would usually get for Christmas. There were some others too, one was a shark with a hook through its jaw, and something else about a spy. These were great in my childhood, but I don't think they exist for kids anymore. We always used to get the Daily Express newspaper too and I always liked to read The Gambols comic every day. I would buy the books too. The only one I ever really liked in more recent times was Dilbert. Did you like comics when you were a kid, and if so which ones ?

Parley Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 I wish I had kept my comics. They would have been great to look back at. There was another one I liked with a boy called Shiner, who would always get a black eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoll Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Bunty and Beano for me. DH has a very nice collection of Eagle from his boyhood and our lads grew up on Dan Dare - much to the amusement of their "Star Wars" peers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exile Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 There was another one I liked with a boy called Shiner, who would always get a black eye. this was from an era where getting a black eye was parr for the course. Nowadays its a suable offence, worthy of an entire segment on Today Tonight, or A Current Affair. I used to get the Beano. Loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furkew Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 2000AD. Judge Dread especially. I had them in perfect condition from the first edition onwards for quite a few years. Lost them all in a house fire a few years ago. :no: Just looked up their value on a forum: Prog 1 £100 - no spinner Prog 2 £100 - no biotronic stickers Prog 3 £50 - no red alert wallet Progs 1-3 are worth approximately double this amount if they include their free gifts. Progs 4-20 £5 each Progs 71, 72, 77 & 78 £20 each Progs 21-200 £2 each Progs 201-500 £1 each Progs 501-1199 50p each Progs 1200-1499 £1 each Progs 1500-present cover price :realmad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest37336 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi Parley. Used to read the Beano and Dandy, remember vividly getting the 'summer' annuals, going on holiday to Wales with my mum and dad and the first thing they did was buy me the summer hardback editions. Used to spend hours on the beach having a laugh and reading them, bloody brilliant times indeed.:yes::yes: Cheers Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi Tony, I loved the annuals too. I would look forward to them for months before they came out. Shame the kids don't have them today. They were a great part of our childhoods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
