Published weekly between 1964 and 1980 by Fleetway (later IPC Magazines) and aimed at the teenage market, it ran for almost 900 issues, and oversaw a period of considerable change in popular music consumption, from the early years of The Beatles' career to the growth of the music video. Many of its contributors began their professional careers with the magazine including photographers David Steen and Robert Whitaker and writers Quentin Crewe, Shena Mackay, Neil Aspinall and Michael Aldred.

Re-named Fab 208 in Aug 1975.

So, really a music magazine rather than strictly a comic. I only put it in the Guide after a request from a lovely lady!

Each issue provides great snapshots of popular culture.

There were also annuals and summer specials.
