These were wonderful with written stories, mostly serials , not cartoon comics. History and Timeline • The Wizard (1922–1963): Originally launched by D.C. Thomson on September 22, 1922, as an illustrated text story paper featuring characters like Wilson the Wonder Athlete and The Wolf of Kabul. • The Rover (1922–1961/1963): Started in 1922 as a companion boys' story paper, later absorbing Adventure in 1961. • Rover and Wizard (1963–1969): In November 1963, The Wizard merged with The Rover to become Rover and Wizard. It ran under this joint title until August 16, 1969, when it reverted to just The Rover. • The Wizard Relaunch (1970–1978): D.C. Thomson revived The Wizard as a full comic on February 14, 1970. In January 1973, it briefly absorbed The Rover in a reversal of roles before ending on June 10, 1978, and later merging into The Victor.
