British Update: Free Gift Farrago: School Friend from 1960 with Charm Bracelet Gifts
*Girls’ Comics: Many people don’t realise that, before its long association with June, School Friend was a weekly comic in its own right, launched in 1950 and running until 1965, best remembered as the original home of the ‘Silent Three’. We have three issues of School Friend from 1960, when the line-up of stories included ‘The Gay Princess’, ‘Ella and the Enchanted Garden’, ‘Schoolgirl Secret Agent’, and ‘Jane and the Ghostly Hound’, among others. This is a consecutive triptych of free gifts, the first featuring a charm bracelet with three charms, and the next two each supplying three more charms to complete the bracelet set. The first two comics are VG, the third GD, with the free gifts, in their original envelopes, FN.
