*Girls’ Comics: Spellbound hit the newsagents of the UK in 1976, and brought a different complexion to the British girls’ weekly. Rather than the token ‘strange story’ beloved by the regular anthologies, every strip in the comic was devoted to supernatural or science-fiction stories. Stars of the show, of course, were four interplanetary super-heroines, the Supercats, who roamed the universe fighting evil while wearing far too much mascara, courtesy of artist Enrique Badia Romero and his studio. But there were myriad other strips starring willowy wenches in trouble, and schoolgirls facing mysterious enemies. This week, we add Spellbound’s third issue to our lists; the comic itself is Fine, with the original Free Gift – the ‘Black Cat Cameo’ – still unassembled on its original plastic support, but with the envelope in a rather grubby state, so FN overall.
