Film Fun was a comic published by Amalgamated Press (later Fleetway) featuring the exploits of various comic actors. It ran from 1920 to 1962.[1]
It spawned two sister titles - Radio Fun, and the rather less successful TV Fun.
In 1961 it underwent a bit of a revamp, retitled Film Fun and Thrills to emphasise that it was now running adventure strips. Reprints of American Disney comics also found their way into the comic.[1]
Film Fun lasted for a total of 2225 issues before eventually merging into Buster in 1962.[2][3]
Strips included...
- "The Adventures of Winkle, The Pathe Mirth Wizard"
