If this were a more ambitious (and better) blog than it is, devoted to imparting knowledge on the featured subject, there would now follow an expository essay on the history of The MAGNET and BILLY BUNTER. Fact is, though, I'm a lazy buggah and can't be bothered doing the required research just to justify showing you 5 pages, so if you click on the names, you'll be transported to their respective WIKIPEDIA entries, which should tell you everything you need to know (and probably more than you want to). Problem sorted.
The images here are from a 1965 souvenir edition of the first issue of The Magnet, published by FLEETWAY. Clock the back-page ad on the glossy cover, featuring RANGER, wherein the classic comic strip The TRIGAN EMPIRE made its debut. A little slice of history, eh? I think I once read a Bunter story, in which BILLY BUTLIN appeared, but I don't recall much about it. I much prefer the comic strips of Billy that were drawn by REG PARLETT. Any Bunter fans out there? Declare your affection for the fat owl in our comments section.
