A tense affair. That was Argentina 78 m9! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I particularly remember because one 'monster' had ventured near Inverness. Google tells me it was a short run of comics. Two Tony Blairs is untold horror indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanton Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 The Beano & The Dandy shared between me and my brother. Then as I got a bit older it was Look-In and Shoot with the occasional Commando . I also still have the last ever edition of Wizard ( June 1978 ) before it merged with Victor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one comic a week was the ration! Scoop was the business, a cross between Shoot and ROTR, what could possibly go wrong?...

stanton Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 When I was younger I had a paper round and the newsagent would quite often hand any leftover copies of comics that he couldn't return as unsold 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on a range of toys where a bunch of NATO inspired military types fought Baron Ironblood & his red soldiers. Military fetish pish. My kids have been playing with my old action force toys and I’ve been wondering what that fu Manchu looking nazi type was called, cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microdave Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Beano and Dandy for me too. I was even a member of the Dennis the menace fan club. Still get the Oor Wullie or Broons for Christmas every year at the age of 45 and still love it.Eta, I moved on to one called United about a fitba team called, er, United. Managed by Joe Pearson and had star players called Josh Tee and Kevin Nicklish. I also went through a spell of getting the action type comics but they were about fitba. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkst Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I remember Cheeky causing hysteria when it came out due to the free gifts every week. Got it for a few months before switching to Shoot! amid Argentina 78 mania. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 The Broons were weirdos. Despite Dudley Watkins being a massive Presbyterian, there were loads of them and none of the siblings bore any resemblance to each other. Maw Broon was obviously a bit of a trampoline 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
