British Update: Jinty Vol 1: ‘Land of No Tears’ and ‘The Human Zoo’
*Collected Editions: The first in a projected series of Jinty paperbacks, like its sister series Misty, this presents two science-fiction serials in their entirety – “Land of No Tears”, written by Pat Mills, and “The Human Zoo”, written by Malcolm Shaw. Both are illustrated by Guy Peeters, and both feature young girls transported to alien realms. In “Land of No Tears”, disabled Cassy encounters a near-future dystopia where physical and emotional imperfections are outlawed and viciously punished, while in “The Human Zoo”, twins Shona and Jenny are captured by telepathic aliens, exhibited as animals, then separated when Jenny is sold! Both stories are well-remembered by original readers, full of the heart-tugging angst which fuelled all Jinty’s most memorable stories – now available once more for new and nostalgic readers! This brand-new paperback collection is £11.
