Can anyone recognise this story?

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.

Can anyone recognise this story?

Post by Tammyfan »

On the Jinty blog, someone raised a query about this story that was translated into Dutch in Tina. Can anyone recognise it? It's not something that appeared in Jinty and doesn't sound like Tammy either. I have no idea what it is. Here is the description:

"One of the great stories that were published in Tina in 1982, was ‘Dagboek van een ballerina’ (Diary of a ballerina). It ran for 20 3-page episodes. The story is about two sisters: one is a great dancer, the other mediocre. The talented one gets crippled, and the other all of a sudden becomes a star ballerina. All this happens after she received a music box from an old lady. When she plays the music box, she gets to a room where there’s a diary, in which she has to write. As it turns out, it’s all a scheme by an evil dancer (I think her name was Marova, or something like that) who wants to live on and on, and has taken the body of many a young dancer who has used the music box and wrote in the diary over the years, leaving the girls in the old, dying body. Eventually the crippled sister finds out, and discovers that the dancer on stage is not her sister, and that her sister is now in the body of the dying woman who gave the music box. Will she be in time to save her sister’s life? Ta-da-da!

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is this a story from Jinty?"

Oh, don't worry, we've found it now. It was in Girl series 2.
