British Update: June is Busting Out!
*Girls’ Comics: June has always been a popular girl here at 30th Century – even aside from her prime years as ‘June & School Friend’ – so we are particularly chuffed to have come into possession of a long range of this grand old dame of girl’s comics. This week’s selection is from 1962, the second year of publication, to 1964, and, while far from a complete run, is a substantial range, including the issue with a promotional flyer for the launch of the companion paper Poppet – and, a tragically short time later, the merger issue in which Poppet becomes absorbed into June. Circle of life, and all that. Along the way, ‘Kathy of Marvin Grange’, ‘Nurse Valiant’, and other stalwarts keep the audience entertained, while on the cover, June seems to have abandoned being an ersatz ‘Princess’ and moved on to ripping off ‘Bunty’, as our eponymous heroine and her dog Jiffy perform low-impact hi-jinx in rhyming couplets. More than 60 issues from these years new in stock, averaging GD/VG.
