Finding supercats stories in Debbie?

Discuss all the girls comics that have appeared over the years. Excellent titles like Bunty, Misty, Spellbound, Tammy and June, amongst many others, can all be remembered here.

Finding supercats stories in Debbie?

Post by hypnojoo »

Hi folks - I’ve recently been in touch with Fiona (Marian) Turner’s son who is trying to locate some of the Supercats stories she sold to DCT. I’ve found a couple for him in the Spellbound reprints (details below) but can’t identify the rest - can anyone with more knowledge of Debbie (or any other Supercats comics) than me help? Titles may have been changed of course!
Thanks! Julia

…I’ve just realised the dates mean that they can’t have been in Diana. Maybe in Debbie? Did Supercats appear anywhere else?

Hi Julia - yes, Supercats appeared in Debbie for a short while after the merger with Spellbound.

Hi,

The Fabulous Four appeared in
The Flight of the Fabulous Four – Diana Annual 1974
The Fabulous Four – Diana Annual 1975
The Manovitch Experiment – Diana Annual 1976
Vengeance – Diana Annual 1977

Supercats appeared in Spellbound 1(25 September 1976) until 69 (14 January 1978) [except no episodes in #60 and #61]
it continued in Debbie after the merger from issue #258 (22 January 1978) to #272 (29 April 1978)

It seems often names of the story would change from the script to what is actually published.

In Debbie the story names published were:
Planet of Peace (258)
The Time Trap (259)
The Planet of Children (260)
Princess in Peril (261-272) (a long arc, perhaps originally individually named on scripts)
