Hello there...

Whilst poring over a folder of old clippings and notes I came across a chronology of DC Thomson titles I had put together many, many moons ago - and was reminded of what I think were an early attempt to put out reprint material from the Dundonian vaults in a premium format, namely three separate 'Supermags' - one for boys, one for girls, and one of unisex funnies.

My notes record all of them with a cover date of 17 October 1986.

Can anyone shed any further light on these? Were they all one-offs? What did they feature?

I have the faintest of memories that the 'Boys' edition may have featured Bearpaw Jay...

Search function can be useful sometimes - it seems this was discussed back in 2008.

My bad!

Many thanks for the links though

I recently snagged me a copy of the Super Mags For Boys (a Bearpaw Jay story + football yarn ‘The Feud’) - very happy!

I almost managed to get the Super Mags Comic (Dennis & Gnasher + Nick Kelly) too, but some rogue snaffled it in the closing minutes from under my nose, arrgh!

Oh well, there'll be others... And one day maybe even a For Girls as well

Got boys, girls but not the comic one. Will look later and see what the stories are in the girls one.

Links didn't work again as only just seen this topic too

Fixed. Was caused by a change of webhost, the word forum is now lower case instead of mixed case on all forum links.
