British Update: This Week’s #1: Teddy Bear 1963
*Humour Comics: From 1963, a nice copy of Teddy Bear #1 in this week’s #1 spot, sadly without Free Gift. Aimed squarely at younger readers, with picture strip stories of the titular character, Silly Billy, Edward & the Jumblies, Nurse Susan and Doctor David & Paddy-Paws the Puppy, plus lots of other features. The full colour pin-up is… the Milkman! (who apparently brings fresh doughnuts every week – I wish he called at my house…) Black and white and colour. Teddy Bear ran for 10 years over 520 issues.
