TOPIC

TOPIC 1 September - December 1979 The first Topic book, slavishly copied from a book about dinosaurs, as all good Topic books should be. There’s no real indication of the insanity to come, but if you want to understand what Topic books should have been like before you plunge into the mayhem (and you fancy a trip through a child’s badly-drawn copy of someone else’s dinosaur book), this is a good place to start.

TODAY’S SELECTION

TOPIC 2 January - May 1980 This is where the insanity starts. About halfway down Page 15. What starts as a book ends as a comic, and a pretty haphazard one at that. Stories, pictures, comic strips, crosswords, word searches - even optical illusions - every single one of them rubbish beyond belief. If you only bother looking at one of the Topic books, this should probably be it.
