You've started me off now. The Rover was my favourite. Morgyn the Mighty etc, but essentially Braddock, Mosquito pilot extraordinaire and maverick ignorer of authority, bought every Thursday from the newsagent at the bottom of our road. His shop window was strung with wires from which he hung magazines by clips. Rover, Wizard, Hotspur, Adventure and Champion, I got them every week and read them (stories!)on my hour long bus ride to school.If I had any pocket money left I would buy a Sexton Blake library pocket book for ninepence.
Ah, the simplicity of life! And we were happier in the 50s too. Didn't have much, didn't want much, laughed a lot.
