British Update: Free Gift Farrago – Mandy from 1967 and 1968
*Girls’ Comics: Home of tales of misery and suffering fronted by our eponymous can-do hostess and her faithful hound Patch, Mandy delighted generations of readers with its selection box of schadenfreude, cautionary tales whose heroines demonstrated that whatever problems the readers had, things could get so much worse! We have three early (first and second year of publication) issues new in, each with the original Free Gift. Number #39 is GD, light to moderate edge wear at lower right, with the gift of a Bluebell Necklace VF, still mounted on card backing and in its polythene envelope. Number #87 is a crisp and clean FN, with the attached ‘Forget-Me-Not Diary’ bright, clean and unmarred VF. And the companion #88 is also FN, and accompanied by a ‘Forget-Me-Not Autograph Book’, in generally excellent condition but with a tinge of rust at the staple, hence this gift is only FN.
