A request for information on Judy comics.

[Phoenix]

My request is for the story titles, the issue number of their first instalment and/or the issue number of the last instalment of any serials that started or ended during my main missing runs of Judy. These are 671 - 677 (1972) and 678 - 684 (1973) : 843 - 848 (1976) : 886 - 894 (1977) : 943 - 961 (1978) : 1015 -1024 (1979) : 1562 - 1564 (1989) and 1565 - 1573 (1990) : 1581 - 1586 and 1590 - 1599 (1990). I would appreciate any help from members who have any of these issues in their collection.

These are really valuable findings, peace. I don't really like asking people but there haven't been any of the relevant issues advertised for sale or auction anywhere recently as far as I'm aware, and I am keen on getting a complete list of the serials in all ten of the titles I'm personally researching. I am very grateful to you for letting me have this information on Judy. It must have taken you a couple of hours at least. As with your Mandy information, I will integrate your Judy notes into my files in the next couple of days. By the way, if there is any information you need for your own index do feel free to ask.

Glad to help. A while back I started keeping records of issues on my computer, which did take some time initially, but it's worth it when it makes it easier to find information and it's a a pretty quick job to copy information for a request.
I'm sure I'll take you up on your offer at some point too.

Forgot to mention that "Miss High and Mighty" is a reprint of "The Taming of the Honourable Angelina" under a new name
