A companion comic to Topper which itself came out in 1953 and of similar large tabloid size. This made it difficult to store and keep flat so many have a horizontal fold across the middle. Perfectly flat copies would have to be valued higher. The free gift Whizz Bang with issue #1 is hard to find, especially in unused condition. Add £100 value if in high grade unused shape. Creased and well used ones command less value. In Mar 2010 an original owner copy in high grade with the free gift sold on eBay UK for £387, the highest price that I know of so far. Nice one!
Many thanks to Phil Shrimpton for help on the Beezer comic illustrations. Phil is very expert in all things Dandy and Beano, Beezer and Topper. Check out his web-site philcomics.com.
