A story paper is a periodical publication similar to a literary magazine, but featuring illustrations and text stories, and aimed towards children and teenagers. Also known in Britain as "boys' weeklies", story papers were phenomenally popular before the outbreak of the Second World War. They are similar in content to the contemporary dime novels produced in the United States.
Among the most well-known British story papers was Boy's Own Paper, which ran from 1879 to 1967.
