Absorbed Titles

- Radio Fun (25/2/1961) - which itself had merged with The Wonder.
- Film Fun (15/9/1962) - which itself had merged with Picture Fun, Kinema Comic, Film Picture Stories, Illustrated Chips and Top Spot.
- The Big One (27/2/1965)
- Giggle (20/1/1968)
- Jet (2/10/1971)
- Cor!! (22/6/1974)
- Monster Fun (6/11/1976)
- Jackpot (30/1/1982)
- School Fun (2/6/1984)
- Nipper (01/09/87)
- Oink! (22/10/1988)
- Whizzer and Chips (7/10/1990) - which itself had previously absorbed Whoopee! (which itself had merged with Wow!, Cheeky and Shiver and Shake), Krazy, Scouse Mouse and Knockout

Famous quotes containing the words absorbed and/or titles:
“It is almost impossible to be a doctor and an honest man, but it is obscenely impossible to be a psychiatrist without at the same time bearing the stamp of the most incontestable madness: that of being unable to resist that old atavistic reflex of the mass of humanity, which makes any man of science who is absorbed by this mass a kind of natural and inborn enemy of all genius.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
“Lear. Dost thou call me fool, boy?
Fool. All thy other titles thou hast given away; that thou wast born with.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
