Of course. Popeye Holiday Specials from 1965 to 1969 which takes the total up to 33.
It would be interesting to get a date for the Flintstones special you mention.

Annoyingly it’s not showing up in eBay completed items, but I’m pretty sure it was last year or very early this year.

I hadn’t seen it before, hence why I wanted it - but it’s definitely a Flintstones Special with the wording Huckleberry Hound presents at the top or something very similar. I meant to take a screen shot at the time but tbh I thought I’d win it anyways. Such is the way.

I'm just going out but I'm 99% sure that it was called the Flintstones Fun Extra if that helps. I do remember it was 1964.

Edit: Yes it was 1964

Thanks Adam, That's another to add to the list. There really was an explosion of Hanna Barbera based material in the early 1960's. Some reprint from the US and some not.

GCD says there were Flintstones annuals from 1963 to 1974.

Hi Adam, I only listed the ones for 1963-1969 as they were from the decade under review.

Can the two Jackpot Comic Annuals from World Distributors be added to the Annuals list?

Hi Chris, I was trying to keep the list to manageable proportions by just including annuals that had a direct link to a weekly comic. A quick look at the galleries here and on Tony's Trading, as I'm sure you're aware, reveals how many stand alone comic annuals the 1960's produced.

That makes sense.
