Cor!

[chrisredditch]

This was my comic of choice in the early 70's. The first issue came coplete with a sachet of "Gulp" orange drink.
Anyway, "Cor!" featured my all-time favoutrite strip namely "Ivor Lott and Tony Broke" OK! It's a bad pun but when I was 10 it made a lot of sense!

Also, does anybody remember "Whoopee" and "Knockout"??

Re: Cor!

I still have some Whoopee & Knockout annuals (for definite Knockout 1973 & Whoopee 1975). The first comic I ever got for myself (ie ordered via the newsagent) was 'Shiver & Shake' from March 1973, but I was lucky in that an older lad down my street , when he'd finished with his stash, used to leave a huge pile of comics at our back door..a great mixture, mainly Victor, Topper & Beezer
Then the 'meatier' comics grabbed me,Action, Warlord, but in particular Battle

nice list of annuals here (click on the annual index for the rest)

Re: Cor!

Cor, Knockout and Sparky were my three favourite comics from the 70s. I had some mint-condition Sparkys in my mum's loft, but a squirrel moved in and reduced the lot to confetti.

Re: Cor!

Re: Cor!

Cor! pops up in Andrew Collins' book - Where Did It All Go Right - quite a lot but I only got it infrequently. I did get Whoopee for a while when it first launched (I remember some good horror(?) cards free with an early issue) but Whizzer and Chips was may fave of the funnies.

Re: Cor!

I used to get Whizzer & Chips and Cor!. W&C eventually incorporated Cor, didn't it?
I once won some money by suggesting a storyline for a strip called Willy Wonty. It was enough to get me a Tonto action figure - I was chuffed to bits!

Cor!! merged with Buster in 1974.

Re: Cor!

Like the Gulp pic. Ultra rare to find that with the number 1 issue.

Cor!! merged with Buster in 1974.

That's right, I've got a couple of issues of "Buster and Cor!" from about that time. I was mainly a 'TV Comic' kid but later graduated onto 'Whizzer and Chips' (Incorporating Knockout) and the war comics like 'Warlord', 'Battle', 'Valiant', etc...

Re: Cor!

There were still Cor! annuals around in the 1980s.

IPC/Fleetway seemed to keep making annuals for titles that had long finshed being a weekly issue, for some reason.
