British Update: A Date With Debbie – and Spellbound
*Girls’ Comics: A handful of Debbie from 1978, a year previously unrepresnted in our listings, during the period when it had merged with fallen sister Spellbound (though, alas, after the ‘Supercats’ run in the title – though readers were still encouraged to join the ‘Supercats club’!). The Romero studios, former Supercats illustrators, were still gainfully employed, however, with the ‘House of Cats’ (we know a lot of people who have one of those…), and supernatural antics remained in the fore with ‘Valley of Fear’, as well as more mundane yet peculiar strips like ‘The Big Cheese’. (Two young girls roll a giant cheese from London to Diddlecombe because… the editor had a hangover that week? We’re just guessing.) Anyway, new Debbies, just pre- and post- the 300 mark, averaging VG to FN.
