The Topper was a good one

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).

Bobbi... Sticky's just a kid. He doesn't know the old classics.

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 :

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.

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.

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!
