An old expression states 'children should be seen, but not heard'. Well, just try telling that to the bunch of kids we have in this category!
To make matters worse, most of the teenagers here are also out of contol.
One teenager you certainly would not want to mess with, as many a villain found out to their cost, is Airboy. A real tough cookie and the owner of the worlds coolest plane!
Talking of cool inventions, then The Brain always has a new idea, but beware they never quite work the way they should.
Amongst our stars are Jack Armstrong 'The All American Boy of Radio Fame' and of course comic strip legends Terry and the Pirates.
Tippy, a silver age queen of dizzy, is here along with her friends, Go-Go and Animal.
Parents Magazine attempt to add a bit of sanity to this section, with Polly Pigtails and their various 'Calling all' titles. But, frankly it looks like a lost cause.
We have 249 titles and 5,331 issues in our 'Children / Teenagers Category' for you to enjoy.
