Comics UK

Hi,

Have you ever woken up one day thinking about really strange things. A while ago I woke up in a bad mood because the clues on 321 were just too difficult and nobody was ever going to win the car unless it was by luck. Then another day I woke up thinking the Dundee United title winning team of the mid eighties really were amazing and then one day I woke up laughing at how Winker Watson got away early for the holidays by building a pretend bomb and sticking it to the side of the school...and that's what got me back into comics, well annuals at the moment.

My first comic I ever had delivered was the Dandy (I think) before moving over to Whoopee! hence the name. A while later I changed to Whizzer and Chips before moving onto Nutty when I was a bit older. Then I moved onto the football comics reading Roy of the Rovers and then finishing on Champ. I also read The Beano, Topper and The Beezer (Numbskulls rock!!)

I've just been bidding on some annuals on ebay this weekend Cor! was one of my favourite annuals although I don't remember it as a comic. As you can tell I prefer the humour comics and I think I have a preference for the IPC fleetway ones rather than DC Thomson although I did love Champ and Nutty.

Anyway that's me, glad to be aboard!
PS aarrgghh anyone spot the deliberate mistake in my name!!

Hello and welcome!

After a certian Viz controversy (itself probably 30 years old, though), I can't see that Winker Watson strip being reprinted!

Ha ha yeah that kind of put the mockers on that!

Greetings, young Sweeny!


We trust that your your time in this phine phorum will be most satisfactory.......

Welcome, Sweeny!

Its obvious from your name that you watched the exploits of Regan and Carter as a three year old.

Cheers for the welcome guys

Although I was more of a Professionals Kid than a Sweeney Toddler

I can still remember walking along the street at Dockhead in Bermondsey in the seventies and a young lad asked me if i was Bodie.

Heh heh, I hope so but I'm not in the same league as many on here, looking forward to learning a lot though.

@stevezodiac excellent, you should have said "Get down we're being watched" then run very quickly through a pile of cardboard boxes

Welcome! I like the name - Sweeny was a great character!

Thanks George, Whoopee was one of the first comics I ever remember reading and Sweeny Todd was always my favourite. I didn't realise he had been in other comics beforehand, so I'm learning lots on here already.

Sorry me's learning lots on here already
