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

“I have known a German Prince with more titles than subjects, and a Spanish nobleman with more names than shirts.”
