*Girls’ Comics: A distaff companion to 2000 AD, but focusing more on the supernatural than science-fiction themes, Misty is fondly remembered for the quality of its stories and artwork (using many of the 2000 AD creators), and its wide appeal – even at the time of its publication, the subject matter made it the “Girls’ comic” a lot of boys furtively read, and these days it’s keenly collected by men and women alike. We have most of the run new in, from the 3rd issue (18/2/78) right up to 18/8/79, with almost every issue in that sequence present. (The run finished 12/1/80 on 101 issues) All, of course, ably introduced by our ethereal hostess, who featured in frontispieces (and many covers) illustrated by the sublime Shirley Bellwood. It’s said that Shirley Bellwood modelled the Misty character on herself – we’ve used a photo of her here so you can make up your own mind on that one. This is an original owner collection, with most issues in excellent and attractive FN or VG/FN condition, just a few lower.
