Started in 1950 and finished in 1965

Black Bob was the name of a Border Collie character that first appeared in The Dandy in issue 280, dated 25 November 1944. Following this he appeared as a picture strip in The Weekly News in 1946, which continued until 1967. Drawn by Jack Prout, the popular sheepdog appeared regularly in The Dandy from his 1944 debut until issue 2122, dated 24 July 1982. Eight Black Bob annuals were published at infrequent intervals from 1950 to 1965.
