Cheeky Summer Special
IPC · 1978–1982 · 4 issues
About the series
A bright and breezy British comic annual from IPC, the Cheeky Summer Special ran for four issues between 1978 and 1982, offering a seasonal dose of the anarchic, pun-filled humour that defined its parent weekly. Packed with short, gag-a-minute strips and cheerful activity pages, it was a perfect pocket-money treat for kids during the school holidays, capturing the lighthearted, slightly irreverent tone that made the character Cheeky a fondly remembered figure of the era. While not a landmark series, it stands as a charming snapshot of late-70s/early-80s British children's comics at their most playful.
