Whizzer and Chips was my favourite comic, but which side were you on?

    Seeing this post makes me so happy. I used to get the conic every Saturday and the annual every Christmas for around a decade starting roughly in 83.

    I used to ask my school friends the same question but I never met anyone who read the comic.

    Just a few months ago, I went to my parents to dig some of my gear out of the loft expecting it to be damaged. It turns out what I was looking for was in a cupboard in perfect condition along with all my Whizzer & Chips annuals! So happy to see them again.

    Oh, I was a Whizz kid as well. 😊

      Yeah, I had a massive box of them, my sister started getting it (I think somebody bought one for her when she was ill) and later on I was getting it myself along with most of the monthlies. I only appear to have two annuals, I don’t think I got rid of any, but I know my big box of comics and monthlies went to a distant relative - they had been sealed up since moving in 1992, I had progressed by then to Your Sinclair 😊.
