All comics Whoopee!
Whoopee! comic issues
Long running British humour comic.
Some excellent artwork with lots of the early issue having World-Wide Weirdies pin-up pictures of monsters (usually in a circular design either on the rear cover or on a colour internal page.
The some of the early issues from #10 also had a Lone Ranger comic strip.
With the merge with Cheeky, the issues had a 16 page Cheeky comic in the middle, in the same way Whizzer & and Chips split the comic into two parts.

General comic range checking notes
Early numbered issues in a narrow IPC format and then they switch to the standard IPC wider than A4/letter format the same as other IPC titles like 2000AD, Action, Battle, Buster, etc. Most DON'T have colour centre pages, which is unusual if you are used to the other IPC comics.
Many issues have coupons.
There are a lot of multi-part booklets, so if it mentions booklets on the covers, then check the centre or other internal pages to make sure the issue is complete.
Also several 4 part calandars in the new year issues and some really nice Christmas present labels in some of the pre-Christmas issues. See individually checking notes for these.
