Behold the Xmas tree in all its glorious glory. The embellishment at the front is ‘a rainbow’, in case you wondered 😆

Back on it for day 5 of my fave #britishcomics #girlscomics team ups - let’s go with the classic Four Marys from Bunty. Here’s a reprint of the ‘frolicsome foursome’’s debut in 1958.

Day 4 (belated as I went out last night and forgot) of my top #comicbook team ups from #britishcomics #girlscomics - it’s the Tiny Taylors from Spellbound! Shrunk to tiny size while on holiday in Scotland, they need to travel far to figure out how to return to their normal forms.

Day 3 of favourite #ComicBook team ups challenge - from #BritishComics #GirlsComics I’m going for Sadie and Freya, the good girl/bad girl combo from Misty’s ‘Black Widow’, nicknamed Tara and Tula by its titular villainess

Day 2 of my fave teams #comicbook challenge - it’s The Silent Three, who appeared from the very first issue of School Friend, the first #britishcomics #girlscomics. Solving mysteries, defying evil prefects, wearing awesome robes and masks!

OK I’m joining this #comicbook challenge - aiming for 10 days of my fave #BritishComics & #GirlsComics teams. Day 1: the Supercats! The unnecessarily sexily drawn crew of the Spaceship Lynx, a superpowered team (tho with a leader with no powers) whose adventures are a bonkers mix of sf and magic…

I’m in! How about this #BritishComics team… absolutely bonkers space adventurers whose serial appeared in more than one #GirlsComics where it frankly seemed v out of place…!
