Yes Arthur the old comics gave a good foundation for a lifetime of reading . Why there was so much objection at the time to children reading comics I could never understand . From the initial Chicks Own and Comic Cuts , then on to Beano and Dandy, gradually entering the real world with Adventure , Hotspur, Rover and Champion ,but best of all Wizard. When the publishers decided to introduce pictures and those lousy bubbles of words that finished my reading of them for good . Come to think of it I could never stand the American style comics which format the English ones followed . More's the pity.
Apart from that a favourite of the time was the "Childrens Newspaper" I think it was Arthur Mee's . We carefully copied the strange facts at the bottom of each page into a small book for future reference . The start of a lifetime of hoarding things.
