I only mentioned "Hotspur etc because they hardly contained any pictures and were mainly text. Of course there was also "Knockout" (with "Our Ernie - Mrs Entwhistle's little lad" and his caterpillar. The last frame frame always had his dad saying - "Daft I call it" not forgetting "Stonehenge Kit - the Ancient Brit"); "Film Fun"; "Radio Fun" with "Jack Keen - 'Tec". If I remember correctly the Knockout used to run a series of Sexton Blake adventures as well as Billy Bunter. Comics today cannot really measure up. I remember one fantastic series in one of the "text" comics about a mountain which really was a gigantic monster who had slept for millions of years and finally came awake. Also a series in which Earth was invaded by aliens who rendered all guns and missiles unusable and fought like the Roman army. Great stuff. Don't know if any one remembers the above.
Incidentally it's worth getting hold of a book called "Boys will be Boys" which traces the history of British comics.
