Here's a couple to start...
Enid Blyton Famous 5
Used to really enjoy reading those and imagine I was actually involved in their adventures. Ha
May look on ebay and buy some to read in bed at night  lol
Also the Beano comics and annuals were fun. Dennis the Menace Gnasher and Jerememy Snodgrass etc
Which did you enjoy and remember? |

Bunty and Girl magazines were my main reads...and Beano of which I am still a proud member of the fan club!
Then Smash Hits and Viz took over my life and that's when the road to depravity started  |

Swallows and Amazon's, my sister still has our collection from when we were kids. I bought my kids the Famous Five, Secret Seven, Mallory Towers and Chalet School books, I occasionally borrow them to read now. |

What were those books you had to turn to a particular page depending on your choice of how to react to a particular scenario? A game book if you will.
The warlock of witch mountain was one of them if memory serves..i liked those alot. |

I was mainly into Marvel and DC comics. I had a subscription to Spider-man comic down at the local newsagent and would go and collect it each time the new one arrived. Batman was my favourite from DC.
I also liked the Beano, Dandy and Topper comics, would sometimes get a quick look at Viz when other kids brought it into school. |

Never used to have time to read magazines due to having horses and dogs in my life
Just remember a massive collection of a magazine called horse sense and loads of animal magazines with an odd smash hits thrown in |

I loved the Enid Blyton books as a child, especially the boarding school ones.
I really wanted to go to boarding school and have lots of midnight feasts and adventures

"Can anyone Remember 2000ad especially rogue trooper who was cool ...oh and judge Anderson "
Loved 2000AD.
Bought it from issue 1.
Stopped buying it when it rose in price to the extortionate price of 12p!
Not realising the value, my mum threw them all out when I left home 
Loved the Apocalypse War and the fact that it was the real purpose of Block Mania, and loved the Dark Judges.
Shout out too to Nemesis the Warlock and Rogue Trooper. I vividly remember the Dreamweaver Tanks.
Oh and Judge Anderson. Mmmm.....  |

"What were those books you had to turn to a particular page depending on your choice of how to react to a particular scenario? A game book if you will.

Fighting Fantasy range of books.
Forest of Doom, City of Thieves, the Sorcery! series etc.
Big collectors scene for those books now. I keep an eye out in charity shops for those as early ones are worth a fortune. |

Forum was my favourite, it fitted into my school bag. I liked American comics like Screw and continental titles like colour climax. As I moved into my teens my tastes broadened to titles like Asian babes and readers wives.
I stopped reading comics when I left school |
