The Crunch



The Crunch was a weekly comic published by DC Thomson from 1979 to 1980. Arguably DC Thomson's answer to 2000 AD, its first issue declared itself to be "a whole new experience in boys' papers! It's for the boy of today - packed with never-before told stories with true life features on the men who have faced the crunch in their lives." The comic boasted a problem page hosted by a chap by the name of Andy.

In 1980, after fifty-four issues, The Crunch merged into The Hotspur.
