British Update: Free Gift Farrago: Judy 1971 x 2
*Girls’ Comics: Judy, home to Wee Slavey, Nannette of the North, Bobby Dazzler and a host of others, launched in 1960 following the success of its slightly older sister Bunty, and the pair dominated the UK comics scene for several years. We’re lucky to have two consecutive issues from 1971 bearing their original Free Gifts: #574 has the rather splendid ‘Judy Kitty Purse’, still sealed in its original envelope; #575 has the ‘Lucky Kitty Mascot’ brooch, or at least we assume that’s what’s inside the original sealed envelope. The defects in the comics are caused by the stress on the paper of having the sometimes bulky gifts inside for decades, so they are only due to pressure, not tears or staining.
