The Bimbo!
Did anyone ever get any of these editions?

Re: The Bimbo!
They look vaguely familiar, I'm not sure if my brother got one or two back in the 1970s. He used to get 'Little Star' comic - I got Twinkle. I think they used to merge comics every now and again, so I'm wondering if Bimbo got merged with Little Star at some point.

Mike9012s says we were the proud owners of the 1977 edition!

I think I vaguely remember the name, but not the look of the books, sadly. I obvioulsy didn't have any!

Re: The Bimbo!
My daughter and son had Bimbo Books in the 1970s. I remember them well.
It's quite possible that Bimbo and Little Star merged, Katharine, as they were both published by D.C.Thomson.
