*Girls’ Comics: Launched in 1985, Nikki was DC Thomson’s last major girls’ comic launch, and took a more down-to-Earth line than its sister weeklies. Lead strip was ‘The Comp’, a school-set soap opera whose venue was more Grange Hill than Mallory Towers, quite a contrast to the sedate world of St. Elmo’s and the Four Marys. Other popular series were ‘I Won’t Share Her With Him!’ – about a girl who felt betrayed when her best friend started dating – and ‘Girl Talk’, a best-friends gag strip which is notable for being an early gig for artist Paul Grist, who later became an indie hit with ‘Jack Staff’, ‘Kane’, ‘Mudman’ and others. We have more than 200 issues, from #1 to #232, only a handful short of its conclusion, newly stocked, and averaging attractive Fine grades or better, with Christmas, Valentine and other special holiday issues galore!
