Thanks Andy, and for resupplying my password! Yep, checked last night and both issues of mine have only 28 pages, and there is no mention in either of them of any sort of centre-page pull-out section. D.

Lew, that's really helpful - thank you! And thanks to others for replies too. I've had a couple of leads for more info elsewhere so I'll follow those up too and hopefully the full picture will start to emerge.

All best,
David

Hi all. Is much known about who the editors of the IPC humour comics of the 70s and 80s were? I'm thinking of Whizzer and Chips, Buster, Whoopee, Shiver and Shake, Monster Fun and so on. The editorial and design teams of the boys' and girls' comics (especially the boys' comics) seem to be much bette...

New blog post up (with FREE GIFT!), this time on Cheeky: http://www.greatnewsforallreaders.com/b ... othy-tales

Thanks Richard. I decided to limit it to comics published before Fleetway was taken over by Egmont (I think 1991?), and their direct predecessors in the family tree. This was partly because my blog is focused on the 1970s and 1980s, but also because I thought I'd better set some sort of limit for my...

New post, on some of my earliest memories of picking up my comic in the morning: http://www.greatnewsforallreaders.com/b ... 9ei8vgmlwl[/url]

Thanks very much klakadak and Peter. It looks as though I've had a few referrals from there already. That's a really handy list of blogs - looks as though there's loads I can learn from all of them.

Thanks Shiner and colcool007! There should be at least four more posts as I thought I'd better write some in advance before going live It's more time-consuming than I'd expected, but lots of fun too so I hope there will be a few more than four ...

Oops, forgot the .com! I've edited it - should work now. Thanks for letting me know!

Hi all, with great trepidation I have just launched a new blog about IPC/Fleetway comics of the 1970s and 1980s. It's at http://www.greatnewsforallreaders.com and the first post has a free gift of a mergers wallchart. Please take a look and I hope you like it. I suspect the members of this forum are...

Many thanks RuthB, appreciate the quick reply. Yes I agree, a ridiculous price! It'll be interesting to see if they sell.

It looks (form those photos) as though the 'Princess' bit did slip off the main title before merging with Pink. I wonder when that happened.

Hi, is anybody able to help me with the correct titling and merger history of Princess, Tina and Princess Tina comic? I read on the UK Comics Wiki and dandare.info that Tina as a stand-alone title lasted only 30 or so weeks in 1967 before merging into Princess, after which the merged publication was...

Just checked and I've got all the badtime bedtime booklets except one! Ah well, always good to have something to keep hunting for I guess

Didn't Johnny Dexter end up playing for Melchester?

That's really helpful, thanks everyone. Found the list I wanted on the first page of that thread!
