KNOCKOUT
If you are the lucky owner of an
original No. 1 series ‘Knockout’ comic-you could sell it today for some £350.
Not bad on a 3rd threepenny investment (old money of course).
‘Knockout’ first hit the newsagent in
1939 - just prior to the outbreak of War and was originally titled ‘The
Knockout Comic’ later the Series 1 was teamed up with ‘Valiant’ in 1963.The
second series - Series II teamed up with ‘Wizard’ and ‘Chips’ in 1973.
Our Chevrolet features no less than “Deed a Day Danny” - could he be ‘Desperate Dans’ boy? Taff suggests ‘Trust him once Taff’ as his replacement. It’s the 13th in the Series.
Annuals that ran from 1941. The last annual was
produced in 1962. A second comic l bearing the same name was started in 1973 and
ran until 1985.
Mr Peter Hopkins gives more details here about the comic PETER HOPKINS LETTER
MORE INFORMATION- read The Knockout from 1939 through to 1941.I seem to remember in November 1939 the comic had a giveaway cardboard gun powered by an elastic band.I still have what is left of the Knockout annual for 1940.All great stuff, particularly the dual between Sexton Blake and The Hooded Stranger. -Thanks Alfred Holbrook
Deed a day Danny's catch phrase was
"What's for tea ma?" Blewbury Oxon'
His dad said "Daft I call it"
His pet was a caterpillar!
I have an annual from the early forties but my mother threw out my collection of
Knockout and Radio Fun comics while I was in the RAF in the fifties.
I still have a lot of Picturegoer magazines from the fifties what are they worth
I wonder?
