About the series

A long-running British story paper from D.C. Thomson, The Hotspur launched in 1933 and ran for over a quarter-century, blending adventure, sport, and school stories for its young readership. Best known for the iconic character "Wilson" and tales of derring-do, it was a staple of pre- and post-war comics, showcasing the publisher's knack for serialized, boys' own-style fiction. Its legacy lies in its sheer longevity and its role in shaping the adventure-comic format in the UK.
