  3. Whizzer and Chips

Two comics in one - great value for money! I don't remember all the characters but I do remember Shiner (a kid who was always getting a black eye) and Sid and Slippy the boy and snake that were the leaders of the Whizz-Kids.

And who can forget Champ, the boy wanted to be best at everything or Superdad the mickey take on superman that featured the most unlikely looking superhero ever.

    I learned to read by reading these IPC 1970s comics; Whizzer and Chips was one of the best and highly sought after in the comic box at school on a rainy playtime! I'll be a Whizz-Kid all my life, even though they printed my joke erroneously in the Chips section in 1979. I won a pound - a whole quid! - and a Whizz-Kid t-shirt that I wore so much it fell apart a year or so later. David Clark reckoned you could buy the t-shirts in the shops but he was wrong, so wrong.

    Cousins of ours who had a newsagent's standing order for WnC used to bring the years' supply during the summer hols - I'll always associate WnC with summer. I was a WhizzKid meself because my older brothers & cousins were ChipItes but I'd love to know what influenced peope's decisions.Over to you...

    I remember going to the papershop every Saturday with my younger brother and Dad and it was just before Bonfire Night when Whizzer and Chips first came out. I can always remember the very first issue because it has been reprinted in miniature form since in an anniversary issue of Whizzer and Chips but I wished I had kept those very first issues. I would love to see the copy that was dedicated to Bonfire Night in 1971 because in those days the stories featured fireworks as a special issue and Cor!! was another comic that did the same. We always see copies of the first issue cover but I would like to see numbers 2 to 10 and the very first Christmas issue. Odd Ball was always my favourite character and luckily he stayed till the end in Buster right to the last issue.

Do you remember these?
