British Update: Free Gift Farrago! A Trinity of Mandy from First Year of Publication (1967)
*Girls’ Comics: Launched in 1967 in the wake of her elder siblings Bunty & Judy, Mandy, despite the relentlessly can-do attitude of its eponymous heroine, seemed to specialise in stories which were generally moralistic in tone, with long-suffering heroines finally achieving happiness, while villainous relatives or girls who were liars, cheats and bullies received their comeuppance — good hearty fare for its intended audience! Three new issues in from that first year of 1967 with their Free Gifts still present: #19 GD with Free Gift (Goofy Stickers) VF, #39 VG with Free Gift (Bluebell Necklace) VF and #40 GD (slight browning at spine and top edge) with the ‘Super Gift For every Smart Girl’ (Dainty Manicure Set) in VF.
