*Girls’ Comics: We’re delighted to present virtually a complete run of the first 300+ issues of Mandy from 1967-1973. Mandy seemed to specialise in stories which were generally moralistic in tone, with long-suffering heroines finally achieving happiness, while villainous relatives or girls who were liars, cheats and bullies received their comeuppance — good hearty fare for its intended audience! The two most popular and longest-running strips were ‘Angel’ and ‘Valda’, the former a Victorian girl with a year to live who devoted her life to helping poor children, the latter virtually a super-powered heroine of indefinite lifespan. The Mandy #1 in this collection is a decent VG copy with no specific faults at £60.
