Buster

Buster was a long-running British comic published by Semic from 1972 to 1988, spanning 315 issues. Known for its mix of slapstick humor, adventure strips, and recurring characters like the mischievous schoolboy Buster himself, the series became a staple of UK newsagents. While a rotating roster of artists and writers contributed over its 16-year run, the title is most associated with the steady hand of editor and regular writer John Wagner, who helped define its tone. Its significance lies in its sheer endurance as a weekly humor comic, reflecting the tastes and trends of British children’s publishing through the 1970s and 1980s.
