Know why search engines are forever imperfect? Because they just can’t read minds.
Years ago, there was a UK magazine called Comic World. I’ve tried Googling for covers. There are some. I’ve Googled “Comic World” and “Comic World Magazine”. But the majority of the search results/images are for FF covers, it once being the ‘world’s greatest comic magazine’.
Damn!

That's what I thought you meant, MDG . Plus the coloring is drab. I miss the bright colours of a lot of older comics. That isn’t quite so drab. |

The problem is that there aren't that many images available. There were more related covers for the American magazine Comics Scene than the UK Comic World. |

True. I’m getting a lot of FF covers, the aforementioned Comics Scenes, Comic Journal, etc. Comic World was a great title. So in-depth, didn’t talk down to its readers, etc. Here’s one cover I did find:  |

This is the most info I could find: link
EDIT: If you use the original title Comic Collector you get more hits. |

There's a comicbook_ads account on Instagram that's pretty enjoyable |

Last I heard, the artist of the "AAU Shuperstar" series of ads is still unknown.  |

The newspaper strip Andy Capp debuted in the Sunday Mirror 65 years ago today. Here’s one strip:  Today marks 35 years since the Andy Capp TV series, starring James Bolam as the titular character, debuted. It ran for a colossal - wait for it! - six episodes. I haven’t seen it, and have no real desire to seek out the DVD that Network released. Hope this is okay here, the six-episode series hardly warrants a thread of its own! |

The main thing I remember Andy Capp from is the Pub Fries, which I loved. They use to have an Andy Cap comic strip on the bag. |

A comic strip on the actual bag? Brilliant!

Never tried them until years later. Thought they were good, interesting texture too |
