Oh God, yes. More than the others. My favourites were:

Red Rackham's Treasure
The Seven Crystal Balls [quite dark for Tintin]
Red Sea Sharks

Tintin in Tibet
The Blue Lotus
The Black Island
Cigars of the Pharoah

Those are the ones I remember really liking.

Whizzer and Chips, delivered every Saturday morning.. lovely!

Used to get the marvel comins too, wished I had saved them as they would be worth a bit now

 

[Reality|Bites]

Loved them all, but The Seven Crystal Balls and The Blue Lotus were my favourites

Got them all in CBR (pdf type comic format for the PC) on my computer (including the rare Africa/Russia ones), read them every now and again - amazing how much he put in there for adults. They're quite far from being childrens comics.

[Jono]

The Beano. Anything else was for gays.

no one?

What was the comic that had Billy's boots in it.

 

[DEL 707]

The Beano on a regular basis, used to buy a few other on occasion (Dandy, Topper etc.)

1 of us at work always buys Viz, can't get enough of the Drunken Bakers

 

[beh]

Hmm, didn't read any comics. Skimming through some I could never see the attraction. Was The Beano supposed to be funny?

 

[chipperhead]

The Beano, used to get it delivered every Thursday morning.

 

[Dogoid]

beezer
dandy
beano
w+c

man brings back memories of sickness, as i would get bought a good supply of those comics when i was ill. ( as a child )

 

[Von Luck]

Warlord
Victor
Commando

"Actung! Spitfeur!"
"Raus! Raus!"

etc

Dunno if I'd class Tintin (and Asterix) as comics, as they weren't periodicals. Great books though.

 

[Pipe & Slippers]

Blimey, I must be a different generation to you lot - I read "The Victor" for years and years (Gott in himmel, you English schwienhunt or whatever) and then one day I discovered the "Fantastic Four" and read that for ages - all binned now though

omg it's bringing it all back now - I had a substantial collection of Commando mags as well - much like "The Victor" only thicker and great for those long summer holidays when the time between Saturdays (the comic days) seemed to last for ever
