Who was your favourite comic character ?

Another shout for Alf Tupper

also used to love Hungry Horace - either in the Topper or Beezer I think - he used to walk around in a Jumper with a picture of a knife and fork on the front

Ended up having a gander back through some Beano and Dandy characters to jog some memories. Stumbled across these two....love the historical context and that these were for wartime British kids, but would have believed you if you told me these were Viz characters too.

"Addie and Hermy" (Adolf and Hermann - Dandy)

"Musso the W*p" (The Beano, Mussolini)

Haha - Hoagy and Stogie, brilliant.

2000AD pretty much the zenith of British comics.

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

I used to get Spiderman and Thor (same.magazine) delivered every month. Think one of them was upside down so when you read them both, it looked like both was the front cover.
Kept them for years stacked up in a pile in order number. Of course once I hit 15 or so I stopped buying them and by the time I left home aged 20 I threw them all out
