Beezer & Dandy for me in the early 60's. I also remember reading my sisters Bunty Dianna later on I was into Mad magazine.

Beano and Dandy too..
Pretty sure my Dad read them before I got to them

Later on read Warlord and then the Smaller 'books' - Commando and similar titles
Often wondered if they were fiction or had some fact in there..? maybe thats just me..

It was the Eagle for me although I always liked Desperate Dan in the Dandy but mum wouldn't let me buy that "rubbish". I also liked those small war books, commando being one. Later i used to read my friend's MAD Magazine - Alfred E Neuman "What - Me Worry"?

By then though I was starting to get seriously into science fiction.

I was all ways into humor & was the funny man of the class, at times this did not go down well with some of my teachers. I was considered a likable rogue though by some "nickum" not sure of the spelling, an old Scots word of Doric. I was not into the war comics/books, anything daft for me. Back then was a different time, I was very innocent & shielded by my parents, especially my mother. My specialty was mimicking people.. Later on in life in the 70's on nights out, live groups back then, half time I would be up on stage doing my Tommy Cooper, Eddie Waring & others, a few free pints used to come my way, ah! happy days..... Sorry I digress..

Nickum.

Saw something today that reminded me that as a kid I had a 'Peter Powell Stunt Kite'

Never have I piled things into terrafirma so monotonously..

Edit.. the DJ of the era made me unsure of the name.. so google helped:

2000AD and Judge Dredd.

Beano and Dandy Annuals every Christmas was a family tradition, other than that I was never really into comics.

By the 90s when I reached my teens they were pretty much dying out.

Thought someone would mention Valiant. I think this died in the 60s. Was it all WW2 based. Much anti german propoganda 'so not really very healthy stuff. Like jock my mother wouldnt allow such rubbish. I can also remeber Rupert but not if it was its own thing or one of Beano or Dandy. I always preferred to spend any money on sweets. Nothing changes, except now they give me indigestion. Reminds me Found a second print first edition of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang the other day. Too well used, falling apart, to be of any value, but fun none the less.

Commando here used to buy one a week think they were a shilling or sixpence probably a shilling.

Also occasionally the Beano wasn’t really into those types of comics though even at a young age I preferred reading the newspapers.

Think I have read everyone’s comics posted here but, having an uncle closer to my age than his siblings, went through all his eagle comics, would occasionally buy the beano, dandy and topper, but mostly the WWII comic books
