    For some reason I remember reading my older borhter's annuals more than mine. He had the cool sh!t- Dan Dare and Eagle.

    (following on from a chat this morning)

    Was there Annuals for the Irish tv shows, "Fair City", etc can anyone remember?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,632 ✭✭✭Feeona


    Ah Beano, Dandy, Bunty, Whizzer and Chips, Beezer, and Jackie! And Viz for the more adult audience-they always ripped the piss out of the photo stories in Jackie :)

    I can't believe there would be an annual for Fairly ****ty- what on earth would they put in it! Although I do remember getting a Wanderly Wagon annual and being fairly disappointed that the pictures of O'Brien, Grandmother, Judge and Crow looked different to the real articles.

    Man that takes me back, I used to love those Siamsa books, hours of fun!

    Guinness book of records was always knocking around ours too, I remember reading about the guy with the longest toe nails in the world and thinking why, just why?

    Mandy and Bunty ftw.

    Thanks for reminding me of those school books, I loved the excitement!

    I have Muppet Babies, and Rainbow, and the Bunty and the Mandy, and a couple of my Little Pony ones! Think we have a Tots TV one and a few Beano's lying around too.

    Oh I'm gonna read them tonight :D

    Sure I could root out a few of those Irish Spraoi ones if I had the energy, I got them every year sure!

    Too true. "The fridge in the denim jacket" was a modern classic.
    I do not still have:
    Fridge In A Denim Jacket
    Dial D For Dustin
    Kangaroos In Bikinis
    Zig & Zag in Strawberry Jelly
    Chilli & Chocolate Flavour
    In Yer Face
    Revenge Of The Nellies

    OK so I do ... in my defence they are class ...

    We also used to get Beano and Dandy ones but also the Calvin & Hobbes' collections (not really annuals but they used to turn up at Xmas).

    The Beano and Dandy albums, love them :)

    also i found a Man Utd Annual from 1995.... bwahahaha

    Brought up in Glasgow so Oor Wullie and The Broons would be lying about the house.

    Beano, Dandy,Roy of the Rovers and the Celtic year book would be there too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Several Beano ones, Roy of the Rovers, one from WCW, Back to the Future and others mentioned here.

    Jesus yeah!
    Was there another one called Sonas/Solas or something along that line aswell?

    I think it went Sugradh, Spraoi, Siamsa then Sonas.

    I used to get Buster and Whoopee annuals. And the comics plus a mix of Whizzer and Chips, Jackpot, Victor, 2000AD. I think I had a few Hotspur annuals from a jumble sale.

    I can't believe nobody has mentioned 2000AD or Judge Dredd annuals. I got one every christmas in my christmas stocking.

    Ultra violent sci fi and fantasy FTW!
