British Update: The Merry Month of June! Scarce 1970s June Weeklies restocked
*Girls’ Comics: For nearly 13 years, June (more commonly remembered as June & School Friend) was the premier IPC/Fleetway girls’ weekly, until toppled by the upstart Tammy in the 1970s. We are pleased to have approximately 35 issues new to our listings, a token dash from 1966 and 1967, but the bulk being from 1971 and 1972, years traditionally under-represented in our inventory, as we suspect circulation was already faltering prior to the series’ ultimate demise in 1974. However, the quality of the stories and artwork was unafflicted, with ‘My Name Is Nobody’, ‘The Lonely Ones’, and ‘Gymnast Jinty’ being the newcomers during this period, and of course long-term regulars such as ‘Bessie Bunter’ and ‘Lucky’s Living Doll’ keeping a steady hand on the helm. These are mostly affordable low-to-mid grade copies of these scarcer years, so if you’re looking for gap-fillers, now’s your chance!
