British Update: First Quenchers Plus with Free Gift Farrago: Looking For Lindy? Scarce 1975 Girls’ Title
*Girls’ Comics: Lasting a mere 20 issues in 1975, Lindy is one of the ‘ghost’ titles of IPC/Fleetway’s girls’ line, mostly remembered for being the latter half of ‘Jinty & Lindy’, an amalgam that ran almost as long as ‘June & School Friend’. Printed on slightly better quality paper, any copies of this short-lived series are uncommon (the double-page centrefold full-colour pop pin-ups mean that any you do find are usually ‘gutted’), but we’ve been lucky to obtain five issues, including #1 & #3 with free gifts! The #1, introducing ‘Jean’s Jeannie’, ‘Nina – A Slave To Sewing!’, and distaff ‘Chalky’, ‘Penny Crayon’ among others, is FN with the Free Gift – Love Heart Bracelet – still untouched in its original envelope, VF. Issue #3 is VG, with minor corner and edge wear, but has its Free Gift ‘Cards of Fortune’ untouched and unpunched from their backing card, VF. Issue #1 FN with Free Gift VF is on sale at £100; issue #3 VG with Free Gift VF is £75. The others are cheaper, as you’ll no doubt see from our catalogue lists.
