*Girls’ Comics: A couple of dozen issues of material aimed at older girls this week, which means fashion, pop & romance! Romeo, the long-running DC Thomson romance weekly for young women, is scarce as the proverbial hen’s teeth, so we’re particularly chuffed to have ten new issues for our stock, ranging from 1959 to 1972, in grades from Good to Fine. The psychedelic fashion covers from the ’70’s are worth the price of admission alone –  But we don’t stop there! Other new listings in this category include Roxy from 1958 & 1959, Mirabelle from 1961 to 1969, and Valentine from 1969 & 1970 – the latter providing a particularly intriguing contrast, as Valentine swaps its blue & white comic-strip covers for the ubiquitous photo-covers during this time. We also have one issue of Go-Girl from 1969 (no, we’d never heard of it either – learning all the time!), and, in an experiment, several issues of Petticoat from 1969, a young women’s magazine with no comics content. These provide a kaleidoscope of fashions, hairstyles, dating rituals and tactical strikes in the battle of the sexes over three decades – and the art, by Romero and other European illustrators, is often very lovely indeed. If you’re going to catch Cupid’s arrow, move sharpish – these are never on our shelves for very long!
