The Magnet was not a comic but a text based publication, which is why it's not included in most UK Comics guides. It is an example of a UK 'Storypaper' or 'story magazine’, which is more similar to a US Dime novel than to a comic. The most similar publication to The Magnet still published today in the UK is probably the women’s story magazine 'The People's Friend'
