Called Illustrated Chips but most often referred to as Chips as it
changed its name to that title in September 1952. Chips made its first
appearance in July 1890 and ran until 1953 making it one of the world's
longest running comics along with the likes of
Comic Cuts, The
Beano and The
Dandy.
Chips merged with
'The Joker' - 6th December 1947 and its life finally came to an end in 1953
when it joined Film Fun.
In October 1969, IPC Magazines, a latter incarnation of Amalgamated
Press, paid homage to Chips by including its name in its new title
Whizzer & Chips.
