Nostalgic For My Childhood - Christmas Annuals (pa.Listed in the Photography category on Art In Fiction, The Cottingley Cuckoo (2021) is a fantasy novel by A. The Thirteenth Annual Westies - review of the year. Still as popular now, the only difference (apart from the fact kids today don't have the choice of comics we did) seems to be that they're skinnier (and that's not just me being all nostalgically misty about it - my ones from the late 70s and early 80s are substantially chunkier than the ones I bought for Dude when he was younger - he's 16 now and annuals don't feature on his wish list). Generally published towards the end of the year, annuals are cover-dated as the following year to ensure shops don't take them off the shelves immediately after the new year (though, by then, unsold copies are often heavily reduced). The ones based on comics featured the same cast as the weekly editions, while the TV and film ones had comic strips, the occasional short story, fact files and interviews and - brilliantly - in the case of The Fall Guy, behind the scenes information on stunts and how they were filmed. If you don't remember them, annuals were (and still are) large size hardback books, designed for children and based on existing properties, generally comics and popular TV shows, as well as the occasional film and sport and pop round-ups. Welcome to the fifth post (you can find the others on these links, for 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020) showcasing one of the Christmas highlights from when I was a kid ( beyond the catalogues I wrote about in 2016), seeing which annual I got that particular year. 
Me, Christmas 1975 - Action Man helicopter, Batman, Six Million Dollar Man, Planet Of The Apes annual and a gun that shot darts with rubber tips! Seriously, how much more excited could a 6-year-old kid look?
