Your Commodore
Argus's Commodore monthly, and another October launch
Argus Specialist Publications ran Your Commodore from October 1984 to October 1991 — seven years across the VIC-20, the C64 and the Amiga, trailed by a free supplement inside another of its own magazines.
Your Commodore ran from October 1984 to October 1991, published by Argus Specialist Publications Ltd, No. 1 Golden Square, London W1R 3AB. Ninety-two items are held here, spanning the VIC-20, the Commodore 64 and eventually the Amiga.
Launched out of another magazine
Three months before issue 1, Argus bound a free Commodore supplement into Personal Computing Today, one of its existing titles — VIC-20 and CBM 64 type-in listings, with the same editorial staff named on it. A publisher testing a market inside a magazine it already owned, then launching into it.
It launched in October, which by this point is unsurprising: eleven of thirty-nine British computer titles launching between 1981 and 1993 did the same, against five for the next-best month.
⚠ This entry is built from the issues held and their colophons. This library holds Your Commodore in quantity but no account of its editorial history, so nothing is claimed about how it changed across seven years.
