British Update: It’s a Long Hot & Poptastic! Summer…
*Girls’ Comics: Lucky thirteen Summer specials for ‘young ladies’ new to our listings! After they got too old for Bunty and Tammy, female readers were cunningly graduated into weeklies like Blue Jeans, Jackie, and Patches, which offered tales of (safe, tame) romance, features on fashion, beauty and pop, and friendly older-sister problem page presenters who were actually resentful middle aged men. These popular weeklies spun off their extra-length Summer Specials, and we have “Sunsational” stocks of Blue Jeans, Jackie and Patches Summer Specials, ranging from the 1970s to the 1990’s, as well as a stray Mirabelle Summer Special from, we think, 1977 (it’s a bit coy about giving any actual info., but it references punk bands, so…) Details on prices and grades in the Girls’ Comics section of our Online Catalogue.
