Cripes, what on earth has Star Wars to do with childhood?
At that age, sticks were swords and stens not light sabres and blasters
Cleary far too many of you are far too young 

Hear, hear......Damn young whippersnappers !

Dan Dare vs The Mekon followed by the Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire. It wasn't all Commando comics or 'Clickey Ba'. Good old "Eagle."

I never really did comics as a kid - I was vaguely aware of Eagle and Dan and Saturday RKO serials but really I moved almost straight from "Peter and Jane" books to Roger Zelazny, one week it was Stig of the Dump the next Desolation Alley - never really looked back, must've been about 7 or 8 - I  was fortunate that my local library had a very good SF/Fantasy collection for a small Yorkshire market town.

Oh and the school library had several books by some chap called Featherstone - they were essentially on permanent loan to me throughout

The Trigan Empire! I loved the Trigan Empire in "Look and Learn". Ancient Rome with blasters! 

And horses with only two legs, classic.
