*Girls’ Comics: The schoolgirl protagonists of the long-running Girls’ Crystal were always seemingly off adventuring in the Alps or some Pacific island — I knew schoolgirls back in the 1950s (because I went to school with them) and they didn’t get much further than Bognor Regis then, but, after all, this is comics! A rare example here from 1958: #1199 complete with Free Gift, the Magic Birthday Wheel. The comic suffers from rusty staples and small rust stains throughout; the gift is in nicer shape, except the two components of the wheel have become separated, but it’s all there.
