On sale this month in 1983: the first issue of D.C Thomson's boys anthology weekly SPIKE.
This passed me by entirely at the time, it didn't really stand a chance of catching my attention up against Marvel UK and IPC's books. I was never much of a DC Thomson fan (with the exception of a few issues of WARLORD and NUTTY) so there was no loyalty... and no appeal.
It ran for 67 issues, between 22 January 1983 (today!) and 28 April 1984.
Open the door... and twiddle the knob...
