Who was your favourite comic character ?

[urban genie]

Seemingly not much love for Spiderman. A great comic character.

He is, but common place throughout my childhood in comics, comics and live action telly and to be less special than say a Judge Dredd or a Baron Ironblood, charactors you had to go buy a comic specifically to read their stories.

I bought spiderman, thor, avengers, etc as a kid, but british comics resonated more in humour and story telling, it shows that many of DC and Marvels best stories for me came from british writers who started out doing future shocks , warrior and other comics here.

If I listed top ten favourite comic charactors spideman would probably make 10, because I just enjoyed 200AD a little more than marvel and to alesser extent DC which I was never really in to.

Though spidey enemies were clasic

Mysterio
Kraven
Punisher
Green goblin
Hobgoblin
Venom
Doc Oc
Black cat
Lizard
Scorpion

Some of the best badies in comics

My parents bought the Sunday Express in the 70's and it was in there. Lynne was ways flashing a bit of boob... no nipples of course but enough flesh to get a teenager such as me excited when pretending to be reading the football results

Edit.... a little Google search reveals my recollection of no nipples was.incorrect!

This inspired me to look again at the back catalogue and Good Grief! that writer got away with some stuff!


(*some of it inspirational!)








Never EVER would this happen again!!

Asterix and Obelix. If we're talking the Beano, Dennis the Menace, Calamity James, the Bash Street Kids, and Billy Whizz. I was never arsed about the Dandy.

Buster was an underrated comic.

There's a website of George & Lynn parodies here.

I got more into Tintin when I was older. The ones where he goes to space are my favourite.
