Scorcher Comics
There were many who said that this was the best footer comic of the lot. It ran from 1970 to 1974 when it merged with Tiger.

Buster Comics - Always great for a laugh (1960-2000)
Loved the toothless shark 'Gums'. Buster of course was the son of Al Capp.

It may have been, but Beezer was a close rival.

Beezer lasted from 1956-1993.
