The story that you describe Valeera, sounds similar to a story I read in the Diana Annual 1982. The story is called "In An English Country Garden..."

I think you're right. Would explain why my memory of it is more vague than it usually is with my Misty and Tammi stories. If it was out of Diana, I ...

What other older stories would everyone recommend to newer readers

The America stories if you don't mind me going back to the Megazine. I always loved America, in fact I have 2 pics of her, one drawn in front of me by Colin MacNeill showing her as a young girl, and one big framed print of her ...

She's one hell of a woman, that Valeera!!!!!!

I know I am! I have to be to put up with Col!

I was going to put on a lucid and intelligent post on now,

Lucid and intelligent? If you say so!

How about the Desperate Dan bar? A long pinkish-orange chewy bar with black bits on it that crackled when you chewed them! I seem to remember getting a free one with Dandy. Personal favourites for eating while reading comics were fruit salads, pear-drops and spangles. The best thing about pear-drops ...

The only girl's comic I really liked was Misty, although I read a few others. I tended to go for Victor and others like that, old (at the time) copies of Astounding Tales, Strange Sories and various others, and 2000AD. Nowadays, I don't look at any girls comics apart from Misty, which has never lost ...
