DC Thomson annuals featuring mischievous Scottish lad Oor Wullie, created by Robert Duncan Low and Dudley Watkins for the Sunday Post newspaper's Fun Section in 1936. The first annual came out in 1940 (catalogued as 1941), and alternated with Low and Watkins' The Broons thereafter, with Wullie annuals on even years and Broons on odd. The second Oor Wullie collection came out in 1942, but wartime paper shortages forced DC Thomson to skip producing Oor Wullie collections in 1944 and 1946. They resumed in 1947 (for the Broons) and 1948 (for Oor Wullie), and have come out every two years since.
