British Update: Jinty 1974 (1st year) & 1975
*Girls’ Comics: Following in the wake of its elder sister Tammy, Jinty launched in 1974 as a more street-wise comic of weekly adventure and fun for girls. At first a standard mix, fronting heavily on the comedy with the long-running ‘Dora Dogsbody’, and cover-featured ‘Jinx from St. Jonah’s’, it soon developed a popular sideline in fantasy and sf chillers, with ‘The Green people’, ‘Golden Dolly, Death Dust’, the haunting WW II refugee tale, ‘Song of the Fir Tree’ and ‘Slaves of the Candle’ all present in these first two years. We have a substantial selection from 1974 and 1975, commencing with the ninth issue (July 1974) to December 1975 – not an unbroken run, by any means, but a nice solid range of one of the most popular girls’ weeklies, and in all cases previously missing from our listings!
