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.
