I would say that my own childhood was similar, with the Lusted weekly, and 
Femina (for the wimmens) at home and Readers Digest and Filmfare, Time, Life 
and the newspaper called "Blitz" at "the club"

My favorite in the Il-Lust(rat)ed weekly was the Phantom comic where a masked 
white man who wore his black underpants outside his purple costume would rule 
justly over savage natives who looked like Africans in grass skirts in places 
that had strangely Indian sounding names. Taught me who was who in the world.
