*Girls’ Comics: In the 1960s, the posh girls’ weekly Princess indulged the public’s then-craze with the Royal Family by festooning its covers with pictures of the Princesses Margaret, Anne etc., and hiding the comic strips inside like a grubby little secret – a policy which ensured it a regular readership for several years until folding in 1967. Flash-forward almost two decades, and in the wake of Dianamania, Fleetway/IPC decided to try the same shtick again with a different Royal, pasting the newly-minted Princess of Wales on the covers, although Her Highness had no discernible connection with the serialised comic strips inside, which tended towards well-mannered gentle fantasy – ‘Ring of Feathers’, ‘The Incredible Shrinking Girl’, and so on. The public proved less gullible this time around, and after a scant 28 issues, Princess Mk II fell into the maw of the ever-voracious Tammy, leaving a short achievable run, which we have in its entirety! Issue #1 (pictured) is VG at £10; the others may be found in our online catalogue. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
