The Boys' Realm

Notable sports serials included "The Blue Crusaders" by Arthur S. Hardy, which introduced one of the most memorable fictional football teams in boys' paper history.

The second series continued the paper's strong sporting focus, with Pentelow himself contributing cricket stories under the pen name Richard Randolph.

The final iteration began in July 1927 with a dramatic format change to match the size of the Magnet comic paper, featuring a white cover with red and blue printing.

This series struggled to maintain the paper's former success and eventually transformed into "Boys' Realm of Fun and Fiction" before ceasing publication.

The paper's "Blue Crusaders" stories created one of the most enduring fictional football teams in early 20th-century British juvenile literature.
