Express Weekly

Express Weekly was a British children's comic magazine, published between 1954 and 1962 under a progression of titles: Junior Express, Junior Express Weekly, Express Weekly, and TV Express Weekly.

The publication was similar in format to the popular children's comic Eagle: tabloid with photogravure colour, with a mixture of comic strips and features.

Published by Beaverbrook Newspapers, whose flagship title was the Daily Express, the publication started out in 1954 as Junior Express. It was renamed Junior Express Weekly in 1955 and then Express Weekly in 1956. In 1960, the title was acquired by City Magazines and renamed TV Express Weekly.

It was acquired by Polystyle Publications in 1962 (after issue #375) and merged into TV Comic.
