Comics UK

For me, it would be Billy the Cat or General Jumbo.

I know they are not completely defunct and have been appearing in the annuals. However, it would be nice for one of them to appear regularly in the weekly comic. Of course, I would have to get it every week to appreciate it.

Big Eggo.

Probably Tim Traveller; he was one of my favourites back in the day I've always quite liked the time traveller concept. (Of course, if I were to bring back any time travelling DC Thomson character it would be Nuke Noodle, as he travels through time and beats people up, which is a great combination of gimmicks in my book)

Honourable mentions go to Jamie Smart's version of Roger the Dodger and Alex Matthews' version of Ball Boy. I've not really warmed to Wayne Thompson's version of Roger and I feel that the new version of Ball boy is a bit of a downgrade from the previous version.

The Iron Fish. Great looking design.

Punch and Jimmy. Loved the art.

Jonah.

Puss 'n' Boots.

I also was a big fan of Tim Traveller as a kid. I really loved the idea of travelling through time on a bike!
There's quite a lot of stories I would love to bring back (especially since the loss of The Dandy), but I think I will say The Jocks and The Geordies.

I'd agree with MikeD with Puss 'n' Boots. I had a Sparky annual and it stood out as one of the best.
I wonder if it will return, with a 21st century make-over?
