Yes! If not for new comic "Twinkle" and its eight gifts in 68, that year would have only given 19 gifts! and `Bunty` has given gifts ever since its debut!

Do you have long runs of DCT's girls' papers for reading, Hen, or do you just collect the issues which contained free gifts?

Do you only have Sparky issues with free gifts Hen- or did you once own a lot of them?

I definitely remember the Twinkle items, on account of me having two younger twin sisters: the most lavish gift they put out was probably the Nurse Nancy nurse outfit.

Phoenix & Alanultron i did have most of Bunty Judy Mandy Diana Jackie & Sparky comics but sold them years ago due to cost to complete runs and running out of storage.
I now only have free gift issues.

That's something I could never do with my Sparky's Hen; they Mean far too much to me. Decided to leave them to another member here when I `check out` Hoping they survive me by good few years! :)
