*Girls’ Comics: Although little remembered these days compared to its more famous stablemates Bunty, Judy and Mandy, Debbie, launched in 1973, had a very respectable run, lasting until 1983 with 500+ issues. Published by Dundee’s D.C. Thomson, it featured a plethora of strips including ‘Daisy Dean, Little Beauty Queen’, ‘Kitty & Jo – They’re Sisters But Don’t Know’, aspiring gymnast ‘Little Miss Feather Feet’, ‘Sherlock’ (a horse, not a detective), and a personal favourite, ‘Slave of the Temple Dogs’ in which a young girl assigned to protect the sacred Pekingese uses her herbal knowledge to heal the sick and merrily poison her enemies! Great moral compass there, kid… Our new 100 issues of Debbie listed ranges from 1973’s #7 to 1976’s #199.
