*Girls’ Picture Libraries: Launched in 1962, School Friend Picture Library originally alternated, like its companion Princess PL, between two features – in this case, teen model Tracy Jones and plucky equestrienne Penny of Pine Ridge. By issue #13, they started introducing other featured characters into the mix – ‘My Friend Sara’ from the weekly, the Sparrows of Angel Street, French Resistance fighter Linette and others. Just a small clutch of these new in, but including #1.
