Just you. :P

A lovely lady none the less and 95 isn't a bad innings.

95 is certainly a very good innings.

'Beano', etc. were not MY scene... I was 'Victor'... but many others had Fun, reading.

I'm afraid I have never heard of him, but I was only allowed 'The Eagle'.  Other comics like The Beano, Beezer and Dandy were considered 'inappropriate'.

Sad to see him go - he was an ornery old sod, but he had an exquisite voice - Lee Shore and Guinnevere showcasing it so well.  Best album - "If Only I Could Remember My Name"

Beano and Dandy used to arrive on a Thursday morning before school IIRC. I'd finished them before setting off so had nothing to read when I came home :( . Commando comics were brilliant as a kid, with Battle and Warlord arriving in the mid 70's :) .

"Battle-Action" comic is the reason I am a wargamer  :D

The Airfix Club pages in that esteemed publication (Club President: Dick Emery!) ran a series on WW2 wargaming in 1978 - based (I think) on the Airfix guide authored by Bruce Quarrie.

For a 12-year old with a massive collection of plastic infantry & armour it was a foregone conclusion...
