Closures of DCT titles
My apologies if this is covered elsewhere, and/or if this is the wrong thread to raise this . . .
Can anyone tell me, in chronological order, when each DC Thomson title fell, and what exactly is left from this publisher in paper format?
From what I can gather it's going to be the Dennis the Menace comic and a few Commando titles.

Just splitting off from the Beano Max thread!
Don't forget the Beano itself is still hale and hearty.

The People's Friend, a story paper for middle aged to elderly women, is still running... since 1869!
They also publish at least two series of pocket text story papers, which were in "commando format" until recently, before moving to a 'paperback size'. More recently still (last month, possibly), they doubled in thickness and went from £1.99 to £2.99

Thanks very much for your replies. There is such an amazing amount of knowledge pooled in this forum.
When did The Beezer go down? That was always one of my favourites.

Have a look in the site's Gallery. There are lots of first and last issue covers, with dates.scorpion wrote:Thanks very much for your replies. There is such an amazing amount of knowledge pooled in this forum.

Re: Closures of DCT titles
While waiting for my laptop to boot up I looked through some odd comics by the side of it (intended for ebay stuff) and came across the final issue of Warlord. I noticed it doesn't appear in the gallery here so I have just sent an image to the loading bay.

Re: Closures of DCT titles
Scorpion was only asking for the year of the final issue, Digi, not the first issue as well.
