British Update: Long Hot Summer: Princess Tina/Tina Summer Extras from the very first
*Girls’ Comics: More from Princess Tina, the pan-European girls’ anthology which, in a spirit of egalitarianism, dropped its royal title and became plain ‘Tina’ for its final couple of years. We have a high-grade selection of Princess Tina/Tina Summer Extras, commencing with 1968, one year after the weekly’s launch. Among the features are Sue Day and the ‘Happy Days’, ‘Alona the Wild One’, ‘Chairman Cherry’, ‘Milly the Merry Mermaid’, peripatetic pop-tartlets ‘Jackie and the Wild Boys’, and, a personal favourite here at 30th Century, ‘Jane Bond’, the curvaceous blonde secret agent for ‘Worldpol’ whose main method of combat seems to be rugby-tackling her foes and then rolling around on them – with surprisingly few objections from her opponents! Princess Tina Summer Extra 1968, the first, is FN/VF £90, 1969 FN/VF £80, 1970 FN/VF £80, 1971 VF £60, 1972 FN/VF £55, Tina 1973 VG/FN £45 and Tina 1975 VF £60.
