The Champion (story paper)

The Champion Vol XV issue 374, 1929.

The Champion was a British weekly boys' story paper published by Amalgamated Press, which ran from January 28, 1922, until March 19, 1955.[1] Its original editor was Francis Addington Symonds. From 1929 until 1940 it had a monthly, pocket-sized companion paper, The Champion Library, containing characters from The Champion and its sister paper The Triumph.[2] The Triumph eventually was merged into The Champion in 1942.

The title was revived as a comics magazine in 1966 for a short-lived publication which merged with Lion later that year.
