Re: When 'Buster' Met 'Jet'
I always hated the dishonesty of those mergers! "GREAT NEWS PALS"!! Oh yeah? Should read "Because not enough of you are buying `Jet` it's going to the wall and merging with `Buster` tough!" I really enjoyed `Jet` especially `Bala the Britain` and `The Sludgemouth Sloggers` Pity that not enough othe...

Re: Buster adventure stories
Leopardman was definitely my all-time favourite Buster character. It was sad that he was the last of a dying breed in Buster - that of the adventure stories. They used to be so abundant in Buster but after Leopardman stopped in 1985 they had been phased out for good (unless you count the Leopardman ...

Re: Sci-Fi strips in girls comics
You'd think they'd be a bit more hesitant on infringing on the copyrights of two of the most recognisable superhero franchises on the planet. I suppose Wonder Girl was less well known, mainly being seen as a member of the Teen Titans in the 1960's, although she did appear in the 1970's Wonder Woman...

David Roach and I have been putting together a Tammy index in an Excel spreadsheet. It is not complete, but we have found a lot of names combined with David's research, Tammy's stint on running credits, and other info we have gathered from the Internet.

Re: Time Travel strips in Girls' Comics
A popular vehicle for time travel in girls' comics was an object that had some history behind it. Whenever the girl rubbed it or shone a magic torch on it, it would whisk her back to the time period the object came from. Of course she was always whisked back again. One example is Polly's Patches (De...

Re: Advert for Misty No.1
If Mari is still intending to carry on with her Tammy Project it might, in time, be a nice idea to construct something similar for that comic as well. I'm sure there are a number of collectors out there who'd be only too happy to pool their knowledge. - Phil Rushton It's been on hiatus for a little...

Re: Time Travel strips in Girls' Comics
Philcom: when a comic doubles up on episodes - or turns normally three-page episodes into four pages - it means they're trying to clear out serials in an awful hurry before an upcoming cancellation or merger. Thank you for the latest samples and I'm glad you like Gertie. Most of Gertie's adventures ...

Re: Time Travel strips in Girls' Comics
Re Philcom: As a matter of interest, does anyone know if this story (The Haunted Station) was a reprint? I do know that Princess was reprinting a lot of old stories from Tammy and Jinty at this stage - not a good sign for a fledgling comic. But I doubt The Haunted Station was among them because Jul...

Re: Time Travel strips in Girls' Comics
Here is a fun time travel story from Jinty 1976. Our ghastly Gertie causes the Great Fire of London, the French Revolution, the destruction of Pompeii, an Ice Age and other historic happenings during the course of her time travels. http://i932.photobucket.com/albums/ad163/bmcoote/GertieGrit1a.jpg ht...

Re: Favourite characters/stories in girl's comics
Apart from the Cat's appearances in Bunty, Bunty Annual and Lucky Charm I thought people might be interested in this edition of the Bunty Picture Library which I just picked up. Does anyone know if the feline freedom fighter starred in any other issues from that series? http://i48.tinypic.com/wj9v9...

Re: Time Travel strips in Girls' Comics
"Time after Time" was a title used twice in Bunty for time travel stories, one in 1997 and the other in 1999. The 1997 version featured a watch that a girl picked up in a car boot sale and sure enough it is a time travel piece. But after numerous misadventures trying to find the right way to use the...

Re: Time Travel strips in Girls' Comics
There was "Time Trap!" from Tammy which would count as time travel, even though it was not physical. Leonie is hypnotised for a past life regression experiment. She recalls a past life existence as Wat Tyler's sister, now running for her life after the collapse of The Peasants' Revolt. The trouble i...
