The Champion (story paper)


The Champion was a British weekly boys' story paper published by Amalgamated Press, which ran from January 28, 1922 until March 19, 1955. Its original editor was F. Addington Symonds. From 1929 until 1940 it had a monthly, pocket-sized companion paper, The Champion Library, containing characters from The Champion and its sister paper The Triumph. The Triumph eventually was merged into The Champion in 1942. The title was revived in 1966 for a short lived publication which merged with Lion later that year.
