Sticky; I was adopted into a step-family at thea age of 11 and the new house had old books and comics dating from the war years. Lottie the Land Girl and Clicky-Ba were before my time, but fascinating glimpses of the war and pre-war years. If you were around when they were newly published, then you are certainly not a kid.

Beano. Denis the Menace, Desperate Dan, the Bash Street Kids, Lord Snooty and his Gang, Pansy Potter the Strong Man's Daughter. (I may have got some wrong, they might have been in Dandy).

Atheist, those are a mash up of Beano and Dandy characters.
The Wizard - lots of text and very few pictures - Wilson the Amazing Athlete was brilliant (if a tad jingoistic).

This was a representative cover :

Boko - the big fat wizard! Desperate Dan!

(Buster Gonads & Johnny Fartpants - ahem!)
Bobbi, my mum objected to me having my head in anything not a prayer book or catechism so comics were a big no-no.
However I had a couple of lovely neighbouring friends who passed on their comics to me. Lester gave me The Topper and Beano and Ann gave me any schoolgirl comics and annuals to read in secret...bliss. :-)

I think the time I spent locked in the loo was what caused my mum's daily dose of Exlax for me.....but it was worth it.
Roy; I'm sure they are. What about Minnie the Minx and Guzzling Gertie?
I can't think of any others right now.

Gness how awful, your Mum must have been very pious ( if that’s the right word , poor you
Beano
Hotspur
Wizard
Victor
Unsure, apart from beano, the others were too grown up for me. I was on Enid Blyton until I went to college.
The Eagle
American marvel comics.
Very Catholic and odd, Bobbi. She never did find out that I not only joined the library in secret but joined her and my dad too. That way, by forging their signatures, I got five books a week.
Joining a Protestant Brownie Pack in secret at the age of seven worked for a few weeks until Brown Owl turned up at my house to ask why I hadn't got a uniform yet!
Lettuce Leaf in the Girl :)

OMG, that made me LOL ( sorry Gness)
