History

In 1894 the magazine changed its name to the Allers Familj-Journal, which was shortened to Allers in 1938 (late 1937 ?). The magazine merged with "Familjejournalen" in 1959 and the magazine changed its name to Allers familjejournal (from issue 46), shortened to Allers from the first issue in 1968.

Starting with the first issue in 1942 the comic pages were printed in a separate insert titled "Allers Ungdoms-Revy" ("Ungdoms-Revy" from issue 24 1944). The series ended with issue 23 in 1947. Each year had 52 issues, with an exception in the year 1944 which had only 51 issues.

The comics inside were: "Björn Starke" by H. Berg, "Jim och Piraterna"/"Terry och Piraterna" by Milton Caniff, "Mandrake" by Lee Falk and Phil Davis, "Ming Foo" by Brandon Walsh (from 1944: 01), "Nalle och Lisa" by Harry Nielsen (from 1945: 12), "Willy på äventyr" by Tage Andersen and Aage Grauballe, "Hr Karlssons fataliteter", "Tina" by Hilda Terry, "Pippi Långstrump" by Astrid Lindgren/Wang-Nyman (in 1947: 13-23).
