British Comics

I was always jealous of the kids who got the funny comics, The Beezer or The Beano or The Dandy etc. My parents bought me more worthy boy's papers like The Eagle (which I loved) and Look and Learn (which I always found a bit worthy and boring). However I always looked forward to getting a haircut because the barbers shop had the funnys to read while you were waiting.

When they were feeling their way a bit at the start of Corgi Classics in the late 80s, early 90s Corgi released a number of their core models, usually in sets, which featured characters from the comics, even The Eagle.
