These are wonderful! Thanks loads Phil

Tough and resourceful heroines have always been my favourite sort of characters, even as a kid - and I think it's a massive shame that girls don't have access to these sorts of stories anymore!

Salinas' work is so beautifully detailed, I love it.

How rude!!! I hope they did kick that woman out!!! Well done to Purita for remaining polite

How lovely! Ah, you must tell her that even though it's 2010 she is still acquiring new fans of her work

Ah wow! Brilliant, thanks Ruth! It's so cool that you could find out from Purita herself

Oh that is so cool Thank you!

Oh dear, I shall remove that first image.......I'm not sure if it's him or not, in other parts of the story it looks very like the same artist who did The Survivors but I don't know.

Oh that's fab Steve! I'm interested in all sorts of things but I'd never have guessed I'd enjoy Wild West stories so much

Thanks for the info Helsbels - that really is helpful to know, I shall be looking for Tina/Princess Tina instead then!

Cheers Ispy! My avatar is Rambling Rose, from the Bunty annual 1982, illustrated by Vitor Peon. I adore his work and am always on the lookout for more so do let me know if you see some

Hahaha ace! Misty is wonderful though, I've only got one annual but it's AMAZING.

Thanks to Steve, I've just acquired a copy of Sandie annual 1976. I wasn't previously familiar with this title but if the annual is a good example of what it's usually like then I've been missing out! It's right up my street - fabulous artwork, great stories and there seems to be an emphasis on ...

Luckily this is the sort of forum where you can still post relevant stuff to a thread months afterwards! I'm sure there will always be people interested in Moonchild

A little more Perry.....I'm just adding this here for reference as it's the earliest example of his work I currently have, though I'm sure it's far from close to the start of his career.

More lovely artwork by Vitor Peon - this is from the 1982 Bunty annual.

We've already discussed John Woods quite a bit as I posted the whole of his story "The Survivors" in the Girls Comics forum, but I thought I'd start a thread so I can gather together more examples of his work :D

This is from "Wendy's Wishing Well" from the 1975 Bunty annual:

Ah OK, thanks! I'll take a closer look at those covers. She is such a wonderful artist!
