Those of us that are a certain vintage would have been brought up on comics and magazines..
In an age before household internet it was often the only way to get in-depth news and entertainment and posters for bedroom walls or covering school books.
Which comics or magazines did you read and why? |  |

I started off being fed 'Look and Learn' by Mum but rebelled and got into 'Eagle' before gravitating towards 'Valiant'. Always tried other comics though, the inevitable 'Beano' and 'Dandy', a flirtation with 'TV21' as 'Thunderbirds' and 'Stingray' etc. came on TV/ 'Buster', 'Beezer' and 'Whopper' featured if they were giving away freebies like those cardboard fold with paper glued into them that you flicked downwards to make a bang.
When music took over it started with 'Melody Maker' but I found that staid after a while and became a 'New Musical Express' bore. I did notice that my friends who read 'Sounds' seemed happier though...
Also had a thing for 'Man, Myth and Magic' for a while and when I discovered that you could get underground comics from Orwell Books I usually got hold of 'IT', 'Oz' and 'Frendz' as well as improving my musical tastes with 'Zigzag'.
When I moved to London 'Time Out' got well used. |
I completely forgot about Melody Maker, NME and Sounds!! I got fed up with NME as it always slagged off whoever was my favourite musician at the time, and usually not for musical reasons, but just because they could. |  | | |

Buddy. Still have the original 1st issue, but not the toy that came with it. In fact have all the issues until they stopped publishing it |  | | |
