The Wizard was launched as a weekly British story paper on 22 September 1922, published by D. C. Thomson & Co.
It was merged with The Rover in November 1963, becoming Rover and Wizard.
The last issue of the original Wizard was number 1,970; Rover and Wizard continued until the Wizard name was dropped in August 1969, and the paper renamed The Rover.
The Wizard was relaunched as a comic book on 14 February 1970, and continued until 10 June 1978.
