*Girls’ Comics: Tammy launched in 1971 as a more street-level, relatable series – still with elements of the fantastic, of course, but a more working-class ‘vibe’. Tammy also took the long-suffering heroines’ trope beloved of other girls’ weeklies (yes, we’re looking at you, Mandy) and turned it up to 11, with the plucky protagonists being beaten, starved, enslaved or ostracised on a regular basis. We have two issues from the first year of this long-running and well-remembered title, both with original free gifts. Issue #1 is a sound and presentable VG, with the Free Gift bracelet and ring set still in original envelope. From a little later in 1971, 23rd October is also VG and brings us two ‘lucky coloured bangles’, again in their original packaging.
