Popular British comic books of the 70s and 80s
It was a sad occasion for all of 3 days when I was 11 years old and I had to go to hospital to have my appendix removed. I could not eat for 3 days which was sad. On my 3rd day a friend from my neighborhood came to visit me with a box of chocolate orange matchsticks and a copy of the latest Beano. That was my first time ever reading a comic and I was hooked ever since. Within months I got myself a paper round and weekly every Saturday morning after my early round I would but chocolates and all my favorite comics which was at the time Whizzer and chips, Buster, Dandy, Beezer, Beano and school fun. I would read one after the other that morning eating chocolates. One I had accomplished that it was time to wake up properly and go out to pla with my friends. I looked forward to every Saturday just to read them comics. That addiction lasted for 5 years. Writing this site is taking me back. Who knows I may start a comic collection again. Who knows whatever happened to my huge collection of comic books.
Here is a link below talking about the history of British comics but I will also write a list of the popular comics of the days growing up.
