Comments:The third of D.C. Thomson's "Big Five" story papers, following Adventure and The Rover, and preceding The Skipper and The Hotspur. Like its stablemates it mainly carried prose tales with minimal illustrations, though from the outset there were a few comic strips on the centre pages. Over the space of its forty-one year run it featured a vast number of serialised tales.
