British Update: 4 Girls’ Summer/Holiday Specials
*Girls’ Comics: A quartet of Summer/Holiday Specials this update, with the Bunty-Judy combo Summer Special from 1977 (GD/VG £25), the Tammy Summer Special, also from 1977 (FN £40), and a couple of true rarities – Tina Holiday Specials from 1976 (FN £50)and 1979 (VG £40)! Tina, more commonly remembered from its long run as Princess Tina, was hugely popular in the 1960’s, (it switched back to being just ‘Tina’ in 1972) and these Special editions continue many of the favourite features from the weekly, including ‘Chairman Cherry’, ‘The Happy Days’, and, close to the hearts of a generation of furtive boy readers, curvaceous secret agent ‘Jane Bond’. Rarer than the weeklies – because more often discarded or mislaid on their way to/from the traditional Summer Holiday – Summer Specials are increasingly collectable.
