Look and Learn was a British weekly educational magazine for children published in colour by Fleetway Publications Ltd from 20 January 1962 until 17 April 1982.
It contained educational articles covering a variety of topics from volcanoes to the Loch Ness Monster; a long-running science fiction comic strip, The Trigan Empire; adaptations of famous works of literature in comic-strip form; and serialised works of fiction such as The First Men in the Moon.
The first issue of the magazine sold around 700,000 copies and settled down to a regular sale of over 300,000 copies a week.
Look and Learn was widely adopted by British schools as a valuable instrument of education and was much enjoyed by children themselves.
