British Update: Calling the ‘Adventurous Girl’!
*Girls’ Comics: Eight issues new to our listing of Sally, the short-lived Fleetway weekly of 1969 to 1971, which has become sought-after owing to its high proportion of adventure and science-fiction strips. The newcomers are from 1970 and 1971, and include, ironically, an issue promoting the ‘new’ girls’ weekly Tammy – the very comic which, a short time later, would consume the fallen Sally! Sally’s most enduring legacy is the light-hearted fantasy, “Maisie’s Magic Eye”, but many other series – “Tiny Tania in Space”, “The Legion of Super-Slaves”, “Cat Girl”, “The Justice of Justine”, “The Girl From Tomorrow”, and “The Ghost Hunters” – are fondly remembered, and our incoming Sallys always make a rapid exit!
