British Update: When Tammy Met Sally – ‘combo’ issues from 1971
*Girls’ Comics: Sally, the ‘Comic For the Adventurous Girl’, started strongly but lost traction with interrupted publication owing to print strikes, and a major editorial ‘about-face’ mid-stream, so it was sad but unsurprising when she fell under the wheels of the upstart Tammy, whose grittier stories, mostly concerning working-class heroines who were cruelly treated, had made it a smash hit. Less than two months after Tammy’s launch, she picked up Sally’s survivors – ‘Cat Girl’, ‘Sara’s Kingdom’, and the big hit ‘Maisie’s Magic Eye’ – to add lustre to her line-up, and didn’t look back for almost a decade and a half! We don’t have the first Tammy/Sally combo issue in stock, but we do have a respectable selection from this period, twenty new issues from April to September 1971, mostly previously unlisted in our stock.
