I wasn't really interested. Denis the Menace was BIG as was "The Beano" comic that he was in, but I couldn't tell you who published them either!

Nah. But I never took any of my comics in to school for break time and others to read. If they wanted to read about Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four or the X-Men, they could fuck off and buy their own comics.
