*Girls’ Comics: Although ‘strange stories’, with a genteel supernatural element, had been a staple of girls’ weeklies since the mid-1960s, Spellbound was the first girls’ weekly to devote itself to the theme. While many of its series, including its best-remembered serial ‘Supercats’, with four young super-heroines dispensing justice throughout the galaxy, were science-fiction, the majority featured ghosts, witches, curses and mysterious creatures and apparitions to terrify its young audience. Launched by DC Thomson in 1976 – and lasting a mere 69 issues before yielding the field to its IPC-published successor and imitator, Misty – Spellbound is fondly remembered and keenly sought these days because of the quality of its scripts and artwork. This week, we have every issue from #4 to the last, including Halloween, Christmas and New Year issues, fresh into stock, mostly in lovely condition, an average of VG/FN. Please see our catalogue for full details of this highly recommended series.
