| Girls comics of that time were notoriously grim, I think Mandy was supposed to be the grimmest. All of which helped sales hugely - the more cruel they were the better for the target audience. I bet even Twinkle had its wicked stepmother victimising a ballerina or two. |

Yeah, when I was a kid I read my sister's copy of Mandy just out of curiosity - and it gave me some kind of insight into why my sister was always horrible to me.
Mind you, my sister wasn't one to read fiction or comics very much. |

Let us know - I was fascinated by that title but couldn't read it because it was a girl's comic! |

I used to love reading girl's comics. The Judy and the Bunty, anyway. Much more of the human interest sort of story. Poor, 'Wee Slavey', she had a terrible life.
Misty, I've only really read about by reputation. |

I think Bunty is a wonderful name! Never met one yet, though!  |

You might not want to; she comes as a cut out with those clothes on tabs you put on her.
(not that I ever did this.) |

I'd forgotten it was quite as late as it was, 78 rather than some of the earlier stuff, mostly horror fare rather than unduly perverted or sadistic, although it does appear to have it's suitably traumatic moments:
Shouldn;t Have Looked So Hard For Daddy's Monster 
Not got that far in yet, there's a vent dummy story in issue 4 where the character turns into one but thankfully it was all a terrible nightmare  |

| See, poor Judy could have sat quite nicely in the pages of Scream a few years later. |

Scream, short lived but sorely missed. |

The revival of interest in 3D films has produced a a great site called 3D Film Archive.
While 3D films are being much discussed again, I knew next to nothing about the 3D comics craze which accompanied them.
This page has some eye-popping anaglyph images

| I haved a 3D Batman somewhere. The story's not very good (The Joker accuses The Riddler of ripping off his act!) but it's the 3D which is the point. |
