My first comic book that I read as a child was 'Oor Wullie'. He is a Scottish lad who is full of pranks. His cartoon strip is still as popular today as it was 30 years ago when I first started reading it. Not sure if he will be known worldwide but he should be.
Can you remember your first comic and has it stood the test of time, ie. still published.

My first comic was Roy of the Rovers. It was about a man called Roy Race and he used to be player manager of Melchester Rovers, Unfortunatly he had a helicopter crash and he lost his legendery left foot(the race rocket). They stopped publishing it soon after, they did start it up again with his son has the main character but it didn't really catch on. When I was reading Roy of the Rovers their was another script called Hot shot Hamish and Kevin 'mighty' Mouse, That was good I used to enjoy that more than the one about Roy Race.

i had to sit in meditation, trying to recollect the memory. It was so far and deep, as the last comic strip I read was some six months back, in a friends' clinic, waiting for him to finish off his patients.
NOW, the first comic i READ as a child was MANDRAKE the MAGICIAN with my favorite being LOTHAR. did I remember correctly? .. I was always dumb-struck at the hypnotic gestures that MANDRAKE used on the villainous characters, and his wife, PRINCESS NARDA.
we have one NARADA in HINDUISM, who is a holy saint travelling all three planes, the earth, heavens and the nether world. .. lols.

Haddowz hi I had to really think as that was a long long time
back, so I think it was Archie and Veronica and Superman those were
probably the only ones I read as my parents wanted me to read real'books and I sure did. I learned to read when I was five. I was always an avid reader a nd still am but not silly comic books. mysteries, who dunits and Stephen King,anything by him,love it. Are you then from Scotland? I am here in California in the US. Superman I think is still doing fine but I do not know about Archie and Veronica. will have to googly that one.

I have heard of that one, but not read it. As a young girl, I used to read Twinkle a lot, but I don't know if it is still published these days. I also read Bunty, Jinty, Mandy, Tammy, Misty, a whole load of those and loved them. It's a shame there only seem to be glossy magazines these days, even for young kids.

I think my first comic book was the X-man or Tails from the crypt they were my older sisters comics I wasn't able to buy my own first comics until a bit later lol coz I was much younger and I couldn't afford them back then, I think I was 12 or so my sister bought them to study differnt drawing techniques, and she would let me barrow her so I could study them too, because we both loved to draw in those days and still do in fact I still buy comics on ocasion.
