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.

The Comp

Post by Retro1972 »

I remember reading some of my sister's Nikki comics in the 80s and the one that stands out was the Comp. I just wandered if it ever came to a conclusion of any kind. Did it change focus to different years in the new term? Had some great Grange Hill type story lines. (Well the first 7or 8 seasons anyway).

Thanks

I can't help with this myself, as I have only a handful of Bunty comics and no Nikkis, but if you haven't already done so, I think you may find it worth reading the long article on this series on the Girls Comics of Yesterday website:

This has a lot of information on the development of the characters and the stories. It also has a short synopsis of the last story, and a scan of the final three panels.

Please note, peace355, and anyone else who may be interested, that I have just posted some clarifying information about THE COMP on your Girls Comics Of Yesterday site.

Cheers. The recent documentary about Bros on BBC four, brought back a few memories of schools in the mid 80s. Worth checking out even if you weren't a fan of the music. It's on iPlayer now.

Philcom actually posted that last episode of the Comp for me in an earlier thread, I hadn't been familiar with the Nikki comics at the time either so also some Nikki episodes there.
