British Update: June & School Friend Picture Library – Mimi the Mesmerist, Mam’selle X, Zanna of the Jungle and Co.
*Girls’ Picture Libraries: School Friend Picture Library, in 1965, followed the lead of its weekly companion, and became June & School Friend Picture Library, with done-in-one stories of the regular characters. Among the more popular recurring characters were plucky resistance fighter Mam’selle X, Zanna Queen of the Jungle, the valiant Miss Adventure and Mimi the Mesmerist. From #364, the series also incorporated the defunct Princess Picture Library, adding regulars Sue Day and Sally of the Ballet to the rota, and the series continued merrily until 1971, stopping a few years short of the weekly comic. We have 60 new additions to this popular series, averaging a remarkable VF condition, truly lovely high grade copies from #340 to #566.
