I imagine a lot of you have already seen this, but here's a really great new site about Jinty: http://jintycomic.wordpress.com/about/
Another excellent resource concentrating on a classic girls' comic.

I've bookmarked the site, Helen, just on the offchance that it might be useful to me one of these days. Thanks for drawing it to our attention.

My grandad used to occasionally buy me 'Penny' to read. Then one day I found it had merged with Jinty.
Jinty was good. Though it seemed that I had only just discovered Pam of Pond Hill and others, when it merged with big sister comic Tammy.

It seemed the best of both world's at first, but 3-years later Tammy too was cancelled, in 1984. The era of childhood innocence was coming to a close, with more teenage publications and their make-up tips and photo stories came to dominate. I too was growing-up and for many years thought little of those IPC weeklies, Buster and Cheeky et. al. Until eBay and internet forum's such as these sparked my interest again.

It will seem strange to the 10-13 year old's today to look back on these classics of their time, especially the girl's comics with their Spanish artists and distinctive '70's look.
Even free gift's such as a little plastic ring or comb were a bit special.

We will remember you fair Jinty. Thou has special place in my heart.
