ReplyDeleteGreetings
ReplyDeletePlease, keep bringing these compilations.
Good Job, thks
Thank you again.
ReplyDeleteDid you come across "Misty: 45 Years Of Fear " ? It obviously cannot be exhaustive .
I borrowed the french anthology of Misty from the public library, it's only 170 pageslong and five stories - Moonchild, Roots, The four faces of Eve, The shadow of a doubt, Sentinels. I have no idea whether the english edition is longer.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for a story published in Judy in 1981, "Nothing ever goes right!", and also according to a dossier published in "9e Art - les cahiers de la bande dessinée" N°6, there were good realistic and rather dark stories in Tammy in the early eighties.
If you ever find these...!
Salut !
At the attached address you can find part of Judy's issues, where the story "Nothing Ever Goes Right!" is found. I can't download them.

THe links seem to be too old. Thanks anyway for the bother!
DeleteSo, it was
Nothing Ever Goes Right! – Judy: #1102 (21 Feb 1981) – #1118 (13 June 1981)
Reprinted – Judy: #1553 (14 October 1989) – #1569 (03 February 1990)
according to

Tragic heroine indeed ! Martyr on overdrive! It makes me wonder how some heroines in children stories duplicate the fate of some of Sade's heroines?!? Well, I couldn't complete reading any of them anyway...
I might add that I scanned the four pages of the dossier about english girls comics in Les cahiers de la BD (not a great scan but pages are oversized).
ReplyDeleteIf it doesn't matter to you I can send them via 1fichier (not really worth it to download such a small sized item using it but I don't know what else to use so here it is :)
