British Update: Long Hot Summer: Tammy Holiday and Summer Specials 1971 to 1975
*Girls’ Comics: A trinity of high-grade Summer/Holiday Specials for one of the most popular and longest-lasting girls’ series. We open with Tammy & Sally Holiday Special for 1971, featuring several Sally immigrants – ‘Cat Girl’, ‘Ghost Busters’, and ‘Maisie’s Magic Eye’- then progress to pure Tammy Summer Special for 1972, and conclude with the Tammy and June Summer Special of 1975, by which time the all-star trifecta of ‘Wee Sue’, ‘No Tears for Molly’, and street-wise gymnastic urchin ‘Bella’, as well as a plethora of other strips and features, are firmly in place. Girls’ Summer/Holiday Specials are increasingly sought after, generally proportionately scarcer than their boys’ equivalents, and these are beautiful copies, no interior markings, clean firm staples with no trace of rust, and only the lightest of long-term storage wear to denote the passage of time. Tammy & Sally 1971 is FN £50; Tammy 1972 VF £60 and Tammy & June 1975 FN £40.
