    Anyone remember the ones from the 80s - they were like 10p each and there was one for girls and one for boys.
    I remember there was a pic on the front of a boy and girl holding a lucky bag with a pic of them holding a bag.......into infinity!

    Also I remember getting a little book/comic in it one time with pictures of children having adventures but the drawings were like 1930s/40s drawings. For some reason I really liked the comic and would give anything to see it again. Does anybody remember it?

    Very vaguely. There used to be little sweets / gum in them and a miniature toy. The stuff was cr@p, it was the novety idea of it and the element of surprise that made kids want them

    Wasn't there a turtle or something on the bag?

    The turtle ones were more recent.

    Sorry to resurrect this thread but I too am looking for those mini comics that came with the 1980s lucky bags.
    Does anyone know anything about them? One I remember was the story of a boy and girl going to the land of nod (or an enchanted place). It was only a few pages long but it was fully illustrated. I remember thinking the place was magical. The drawings were definitely not 1980s illustrations, more like wartime , so I suppose 1940s.
