Annuals were first published in the late 19th Century. Bound editions of the Chatterbox and Boys Own Paper for instance became popular. Collecting began quite early on.

Today most enthusiasts collect annuals that they read as a child. Perhaps the most popular being  Beano, Dandy and Rupert annuals
You can chart a childhood through annuals for instance: Robin, Eagle, Victor to Shoot or Twinkle, Bunty, Jackie to Blue Jeans.

The 1950s to 1970s was probably the golden age of annuals. With the increasing number of television  related annuals such as Star Trek, Doctor Who, Blue Peter, Play Hour and Joe 90 adding to the comic and magazine generated output.
