British Update: Sally – ‘Comic for the Adventurous Girl!’
*Girls’ Comics: New stock in from 1969 and 1970 of IPC/Fleetway’s shortlived “comic for the adventurous girl”, which featured not only the usual plucky orphans and wandering waifs (“Four On The Road” and “Daddy Come Home”) and fish-out-of-water stories (“Farm Boss Fanny”), but also two bona fide super-heroines (“Cat Girl” and “The Justice of Justine”), science-fiction stories (“The Girl From Tomorrow”, “Tiny Tania In Space”) and one stonking great heap of bonkers (“The Legion of Super-Slaves”, in which a master villain kidnaps and brainwashes nubile teenage girl athletes & gymnasts into being his spandex-clad army of conquest. As you would. If your objective wasn’t actually conquest. Ahem.) This run commences with the second issue, and features a copy of #3 with the original free gift of a “Lucky Birthday Wheel”. Being a short achieveable run of only 94 issues and with the heavy adventure bias, Sally is always sought after, and we expect the copies we have to be briskly contested – get your skates on!
