Now when I saw this I immediately went to the till and paid for the newspaper which only cost 20p or so. I have the Whizzer and Chips comic right here with me now in all it's glory, here's the front cover:

The comic is from 8th April 1978 and is in fantastic condition! :D
This was one of seven comics they gave away that week (September 2009) with The Guardian and it's Sunday version The Observer. 20p doesn't sound right though, this wasn't a tabloid. Anyway, the other six comics were a Beano (issue 2000, which cost me £2 because it came with The Observer), Dandy, Bunty Summer Special, Roy of the Rovers, Jackie, and Tammy. By the way, they're reprints.
ReplyDeleteI knew they were reprints.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't think how much it was so I put 20p up as it's a normal price for newspapers.... Oops :)
Would've loved the Beano and Dandy! :D
20p is only the price of the Daily Star and The Sun. A broadsheet like The Guardian costs much more than that. I actually still have the paper, so I just checked and it was £1 and dated 18th September 2009.
ReplyDeleteYou've seen The Beano hopefully, it's the 80s one listed on the Beano website's Retro section.
Oh really? So annoyed I didn't get the others! :(
ReplyDeleteAh well, I got the Whizzer and Chips one :)
