OK, I've updated the subject title to stop disappointing people!
I've also done a load more research and found my initial lists were nowhere near complete so I have updated them as well with the most recent findings:
I've been trying to compile a list of comic launches for boys in the 1960s (and eventually 70s) and I just wanted to check with you all that I'm not missing anything. I'm using various sources such as GCD and Denis Gifford's complete catalogue but I'm occasionally finding additional and even conflicting info elsewhere.
For starters, here below are the launches that I've found for 1960 and I wondered if anyone can see any glaring omissions? Even better, does anyone know if this info is already out there so I can just copy it please?!

Sadly, while this thread's title would fit this piece of news, I don't think it's quite what you had in mind either...starscape wrote:You got my hopes up there with the title
