Were they related to the boxer Bombardier Billy Wells , Gnash ?

Cheers.

Wasn't there a fifties  comic strip featuring said bombardier? Either that or cards you could collect featuring him?

I have a distinct memory of Bombardier Billy Wells single handedly charging German trenches. He was depicted as a giant of a man with  fair wavy hair and a desperate Dan chin. Or maybe I'm hallucinating.

I think so, he was the man hitting the gong on the J. Arthur Rank films.

Cheers.

I googled whether he had ever featured in a comic strip. I was hallucinating.

But several cards came up. I must have been thinking of them.

I liked The Wolf Of Kabul, Bill Samson, and his faithful manservant Chung, with his fearsome weapon “clicky ba” .

Cheers.

Now you're talking. I think we all basically taught ourselves to read with the aid of comic strips. I had lots of older brothers so we go them all. I also had a kid sister so I secretly read The Bunty and The Judy as well. I loved the problem page and learned about menstruation and heavy petting. Never forgotten it.

There used to be a docker who lived next door to us. He used to buy comics and give them to me when he had read them.

One day I went to collect my second hand comics and his Mrs said he was on the outside toilet. So I politely knocked on the shithouse door and asked " are you finished with the comics Mr Walsh?  He replied "not quite, I'm just finishing." So I leant against the wall till I heard him flush the toilet. He emerged pulling his braces up and said " here you go sunshine"and gave me the latest edition of The Hotspur and The Lion.

There’s a lad I know who has had a succession of top class non-ped scratch dogs, all named after comic characters; Lord Snooty, Colonel Clott, Dennis the Menace, Gnasher, etc.

He must have liked his comics ! LOL !

Cheers.

I used to by my grandkids comics but I realised I was being boringly uncool. They never even opened the pages. Comics v Internet. No contest.
