*Girls’ Comics: We proudly present the latest in our ‘British Are Coming’ event, showcasing the very best in British comics. Spellbound hit the newsagents of the UK in 1976, and brought a different complexion to the British girls’ weekly. Rather than the token ‘strange story’ beloved by the regular anthologies, every strip in the comic was devoted to supernatural or science-fiction stories. The stars of the show, of course, were the quartet of interplanetary super-heroines, the ‘Supercats’, who roamed the universe fighting evil while wearing far too much mascara, courtesy of artist Enrique Badia Romero and his studio. But there were myriad other strips starring willowy wenches in trouble, and schoolgirls facing mysterious enemies: ‘When the Mummy Walks’, ‘Vampirine’, ‘I Don’t Want to be a Witch!’, ‘The Haunting of Laura Lee’, and many more brought us stories of possession, resurrection, nocturnal avengers, struggles against destiny, and other weird events. We are delighted to have a large run of the ‘Mystery Paper For Girls!’ (Bought by many furtive boys, then and now, we assure you…) in stock, from the very first through to #57 – not a complete run, but an unbroken sequence (57 out of 69). Moreover, we have the free gifts with the first three issues. Issue #1 in FN with free gift (Mystic Sun Pendant) in VF/NM (never opened) is available for £100; another #1 in GD with Free Gift (VF) is £50 and comes with a bonus free incomplete #2; our complete #2 is FN with Free Gift (Supercats Diary) in VF at £100; (#2 is the rarest of the Free Gift issues, as its inside front cover had the coupon to send away for membership of the ‘Supercats Club’, so unmutilated copies are scarce indeed); #3 FN with unopened free gift (Black Cat Cameo) is £75 and a second #3 VG with Free Gift VF is £50. Free Gift copies of early Spellbounds are uncommon, and this is an embarrassment of riches we don’t expect to be encumbered with for long, so get your orders in quick! Oh, and remember that mention above of the ‘Supercats Club’? Well, check out our merry ‘Memorabilia & Esoterica’ catalogue category for Great News, Chums! HURRY, JUST A FEW LEFT!
