*Girls’ Comics: Although best remembered these days for its merger with June, School Friend had a long and distinguished career as a solo act, commencing as a story paper for girls in 1919, and being rebranded as a weekly comic with a new #1 in 1950. The relaunch saw the debut of School Friend’s most enduring feature, ‘The Silent Three’, a masked trio of schoolgirl avengers who enforced justice and uncovered mysteries in their boarding school of St. Kit’s. The Silent Three caught on big-time, eventually having adventures worldwide, and are fondly remembered by generations of Ladies of a Certain Age. This first issue of School Friend is Poor, with rusty staples and considerable spine and corner wear, but complete, apart from a small coupon cut from one page affecting a text story. The Silent Three feature is unharmed. A piece of comics history on sale for £40. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
