I was a Beano kid in the 90s, occasionally Dandy. Was it Shoot or Match magazine by then that was the one all the kids had? Can't quite remember.
Sonic the Comic occasionally too. I loved Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails is the reason foxes are my favourite animal. Didn't see the film that was out recently though, not after they made Sonic look just plain weird. |  | | |

I was obsessed with Transformers as a kid. Because the UK published weeklies and the US monthly, Marvel Comics hired people here to fill it out with strips of their own and gave them pretty much free reign to do it (as long as they kept working new toys into it, thus encouraging high character turnover). So what you got was basically ABC Warriors on starter wheels and a nice dose of 2000AD thrill-power for me from the age of 5 on. |  | | |

I always looked up to Plug from the Bash Street Kids, he was a hero to me and I kind of wished that when I grew up I'd end up being like him and I'm glad to say I have. |  |

And everyone knew someone that was nicknamed plug just because they had goofy teeth! |  |

A friend of mine used to be a cartoonist for the Beano.
I used to get Roy of the Rovers regularly. The "Millionaire Villa" story, where a millionaire rescues a team on the previso that he can play for them, kept coming to mind when Flav was one of our owners 
I was also a Tiger and Scorcher boy and some of the stories were great: Skid Solo, Martin's Marvellous Mini (not that I could pronounce "marvellous" correctly back then), Johnny Cougar the native American wrestler with his beatnik manager, Hot Shot Hamish with his pet ram, Billy's Boots (a professional footballer's old boots bestow magical powers)... Great days. One of the highlights of my Christmas when I was young was reading the annuals my grandparents always got me.
Oh yeah, also Football Family Robinson with the scary battleaxe Ma as manager and Nipper, the urchin who turns out to be an amazing footballer (and later also cricketer).
My brother preferred TV21, with Hoppit! the security guard drop-kicking the pesky autograph hunters loitering outside the television studies.
Great memories.

The Hornet and the Victor for me. Alf Tupper, the tough of the track, lived on fish and chips but was still the best middle distance runner in the world!
My dad always bought me World soccer magazine and I used to buy football monthly myself. Now and again I used to buy Amateur footballer but that wasn't easy to get. [Post edited 3 Jun 2020 12:36]

Eagle, Hornet & Valiant mostly but my big love was the DC & later, the Marvel comics. I had the first 20+ Green Hornet DC mags, all the Mr. Mxyzptlk appearances in Superman, Bat Fink etc. as well as the first editions of most of the Marvel comics as they appeared in the UK. I had about two tea chests of them but when I got married I only had a 1 bed maisonette so they got dumped. Please don't respond to tell me how many £1000's of pounds some of them are worth; I know sadly. It was the same with my Corgi cars, I had quite a number of the rare ones; all in the bin when I moved out. |  |

Used to get 90 Minutes, seemed a step up from the more kiddified Match and Shoot magazine.
I was actually in it one issue having been interviewed outside HQ before QPR v Wimbledon in 93/94. They were asking about how do QPR fans feel about the bigger clubs nicking our best players...
Them were the days. |  | | |

I can't remember reading Beano. That was like, kid's stuff. I liked the Trigan Empire, Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos, and above all Thor. All my American comics disappeared when I was away at university and my mum gave them to a Scout troop who came round collecting for a jumble sale.

Given that Dad had a newsagents and general store I used to get a free read of most comics. Beans, Whizzer and Chips and later on Whoppee (I think used to have a lead character called Cheeky on it who used to wear a cap and looked a bit like Luke Chadwick. Roy of the Rovers was a must, loved the Melchester kit. Shoot was always a given on a Thursday and late July/early August it came with the league ladders. Kids of today would laugh at us for getting so excited over bits of coloured cardboard to plot each division. But they were great. Never got into the action comics, for me comics were to laugh at. One of my favourite comics not mentioned so far was Sparky. Had a character called Baron Von Reich Pudding, a WW1 German flying ‘ace’. The total lack of PC from these innocent publications that were consumed by us kids back then. Wonderful days. | |

Was there a magazine called GOAL maybe very late sixties ?
My mate always got it,we couldn't afford it.
I had Beano and Dandy every week and "Oor Wiullie" and "The Broons" annuals at Christmas.
