lakerman Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 About 50 odd years ago (possibly even longer) there were some books published about a guy called Wilson ( there may have been some stories about him in comics of that time). Wilson was some sort of super human who lived in a cave and was a super athlete, footballer and cricketer. Can anyone remember the books/stories? If so can you remember what the exact titles were, and who wrote the stories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbarnesfan Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Wilson the Wonder Athlete by W S K Webb. Wikipedia has some info. I wonder who was best; Wilson or Alf Tupper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyO Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I believe he was in the Wizard in the forties I remember reading about him and also after he disappeared for a while they had a series "Is Wilson back" with the last story the words being reversed to Wilson is back. Remember him well, also the cricketer Willie Wallop and many more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazel Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I used to visit an aunt who had a cupboard by the side of the fireplace full of books and comics. I used to put the comics in order and have a mamoth reading of Wilson, My Hero, who ran up and down mountains with bare feet in the snow, dressed only in a black tunic, who could play football etc and win matches because of his superier training. About the same time I discovered Biggles. hazel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharrovian Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Ah! Wilson ~ Biggles. Happy memories of the Wizard, Hotspur, Adventure and wasn't there another one. Thinking of those two what about Baldy Hogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janner Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 There was in one of those comics a Chinese type guy called Clicka Ba, his weapon was an old cricket bat with wire wound around it. Can't remember which one, I watched the newsagents like a hawk waiting for the next issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
