*Girls’ Comics: Stepping a little outside our usual remit, a selection of the pop mag Fabulous (later Fab 208). Launched in 1964, it gained the ‘208’ sobriquet in 1966 when it engineered a promotional tie-in with Radio Luxembourg, (broadcast on 208 wavelength) one of the new stations credited with shaking up the BBC’s somewhat staid monopoly on the listening airwaves. Fab 208’s USP was a plethora of full-colour pin-ups of pop princes and princesses, with the occasional prettier footballer thrown into the mix to tickle the magazine’s overwhelmingly female demographic. They delivered pin-ups in abundance, with the perfunctory text features taking very much a second place – though, allegedly, both the Monkees and George Best wrote regular columns! (Or at least their publicists did…) This selection of over 50 issues spans the years from 1964 to 1971, though with by far the heaviest concentration lands in 1967 and 1968, when the Beatles and the Monkees were king. (Though Doctor Who fans might check out 10/8/68, with cover model the lovely Wendy Padbury (or ‘Paddy Wenbury’, as those of us of a certain vintage will always remember her…), though not, unfortunately in her Who persona as Zoe! (and if you need to ask, ‘Who’s Zoe?’ then you’re too young to be reading this update – away with you, urchins!))
