British Update: Pennies (from heaven?)
*Girls’ Comics: One of Fleetway/IPC’s latterday entrants into the girls’ comic field was Penny, launched in 1979 and absorbed by Jinty after Penny’s 45th issue in 1980. Although aimed at a very slightly younger audience than much of the girls’ line, it nevertheless featured quality work from artists such as John Armstrong, Jose Casanovas and Veronica Weir on strips like “Kathy’s Convict”, “Suelah the Seal”, “Sad Sal and Smiley Sue”, and J. Edward Oliver’s “Blunder Girl”, a parody of the Wonder Woman TV show being screened on the Beeb at that time. This selection includes most issues from #2 up to the final issue, and the Summer Special from 1979.
