In the U.K., a large number of annuals are
published shortly before the end of each year by companies such as D. C.
Thomson, World, Egmont (formerly IPC/Fleetway), and Rebellion Developments,
aimed at the Christmas market.
These annuals are generally large-sized
hardcover books with high colour content. They are normally cover-dated with
the following year's date to ensure that stockists do not remove them from
their shelves immediately after the New Year.
Many Comics, Magazines, TV Shows and Pop
groups had their own specialist Annuals each year.
Four Fame Annuals were issued in the U.K.
from 1982 to 1985 by World Publications to cover the years 1983 to 1986.
The Annuals featured illustrated stories as well as pictures and profiles of the main cast members. They ranged in price from £2.50 to £3.25.
The 1983 annual was also translated into Hebrew and released in Israel.
