mine was the Eagle, my brother the Dandy and my younger sister - Bunty.
Do I 'smell' another thread on its way??
nice to 'chat' with you

Thanks Martin. Radio was always a part of my growing up and to this day I still prefer listening to the radio over the trivial junk that is mostly shown on TV as a means to satisfy the empty heads. Incidentally,
'The Death of Superman' and
'Riders of The Range' were recently repeated on BBC Radio 7. The Eagle, The Lion and The Hotspur were my chosen comics
