British Update: Lindy 1975
*Girls’ Comics: An often-overlooked cul-de-sac of girls’ comics is Lindy, a Fleetway weekly which came and went in 1975 after a scant 20 issues before being subsumed by the all-consuming Jinty. Strips like “Pavement Patsy”, “Jane’s Jeannie”, “Hard Days For Hilda” and “Defiant Daisy” sadly failed, despite being the same quality as its sister titles, in attracting a mass audience. We have 11 new in, ranging from #6 to #17, and all intact; Lindy having apparently set out to snare a slightly older audience, it featured a lot of pin-up picture of pop hunks, and these are frequently torn out in second-hand copies. Ours have all been carefully screened, so if you have a hankering for supernaturally-guided tennis players, hard-done-by working girls, pre-teen pickpockets, or pictures of the young David Essex wearing only a pair of denim cut-offs (hey, we don’t judge…) Lindy’s the mag for you!
