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)

Famous quotes containing the words absorbed and/or titles:
“Realistic about how much one person can accomplish in a given day, women expect to have to make some trade-offs between work and family. Families, however, have absorbed all the stress and strain they possibly can. The entire responsibility for accommodation is taking place on the home side of the equation.”
—Deborah J. Swiss (20th century)
“I have known a German Prince with more titles than subjects, and a Spanish nobleman with more names than shirts.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)
