D.C Thomson Ltd of Dundee, Scotland, was established by David Coupar Thomson in 1905, and has been a major publisher of magazines, newspapers and comics in Britain ever since. In terms of its comics output, the company is best known as the publisher of The Dandy (which was launched on 4th December 1937, and is one of the three longest running comic titles in the wold) and its younger 'sister', The Beano, launched on 30th July 1938 and still running (less successful was their third title, The Magic Comic, which lasted only from 1939-41). Since 1941, they have also published the newspaper The Sunday Post, home to long running humour strips The Broons and Oor Wullie. Other notable Thomsons titles include the long running digest title Commando and the now defunct Sparky, Topper, Beezer, Hoot, Plug, Bimbo, Warlord, Victor, Buddy, Hotspur, The Rover, The Wizard, Nutty, Hornet, Mandy, Judy, Bunty, Debbie, Jackie, Diana, Spellbound, Romeo, The Crunch and Bullet, as well as reprint titles like Lucky Charm and Red Dagger. Until October 2010 they also published Classics from the Comics, which reprinted selected strips from past titles.
