British Comics Update: Long Hot Summer: Read Misty For Me… Summer Special 1978, Holiday Special 1979
*Girls’ Comics: Once more, the twilight curtain parts… to reveal two specials of the cult girls’ weekly Misty, the horror/mystery anthology which redefined the expectations of girls’ comics during its brief span. Our sloe-eyed hostess was created by artist Shirley Bellwood, who illustrated many ethereal covers and frontispieces and based Misty’s appearance on herself. In addition to the 101 issues of the weekly comic there were three specials from 1978-1980, and we have two of them newly in stock: 1978 and 1979. Both feature a centrefold pull-out which is seldom found intact, but is present here in both cases.
