Plot

The Topper was a weekly British comic by D.C. Thomson that lasted from February 1953 to September 1990 when it merged with The Beezer to create a new title The Beezer and Topper. The Beezer and Topper lasted another 3 years until the title was discontinued and it's more popular characters moved to the pages of The Beano and The Dandy (most notable being Beryl the Peril). Originally The Topper was a large A3 tabloid size until it shrank to a normal British comic A4 size in 1980
