American Update: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun – Sherry the Showgirl #7 from 1957
*Teen Humour/Funny Girls: Amongst fans of the ‘funny career girl’ sub-genre of comics (and there’s more of us around than you’d imagine), Sherry the Showgirl is acknowledged as one of the hardest to find. This story of an aspiring singer/dancer and her wacky friends is cut from the same template as Millie, Nellie, Tessie and the gang, but its short run and confusing publication history (it ran three issues, became ‘Showgirls’ with #4, reverted to Sherry for #4-7, then became Showgirls series II, #1 & #2) bewilders even the most diligent pursuer. However, we’re very pleased to have acquired #7, the final ‘Sherry’ solo issue, in an attractive VG with minimal corner and edge wear. Insanely rare anywhere, and with very few copies known in the UK, you can pick her up for £100.
