Tammy - Nov 10th 1973 - Verso Media A reflective look at Tammy & Sandie from 10 November 1973 — a snapshot of 1970s British girls’ comics, from Back-Stab Ballerina to Wee Sue, revisited with humour and hindsight.

On this day – 10 Nov 1973

Tammy takes over Sandie: No glamour, no gloss, just girls facing life head-on:

Two-Faced Teesha, A New Leaf for Nancy, Wee Sue.

Comics for girls that I'm sure the boys read too.

Warlord - Nov 9th 1985 - Verso Media Join me as I review the Warlord comic 9 November 1985, examining its themes and historical significance in British culture.

On this day in 1985 – Warlord.

Not one I read as a boy, but fascinating in hindsight.

Flint, Jackson, Cassidy — all action, no questions.

Loud, patriotic and sure of itself — a time capsule of how Britain sold heroism to kids.
