Neglected

I might have bought these new Royal Mail stamps if they’d included Girl, School Friend or Girl’s Crystal.
Which of your favourite comics has been left out?

Sorry about the poor quality picture. This scanner is rubbish compared with my old one.

I'm glad they included Eagle, but leaving out Girl was just wrong!

We didn't buy comics regularly as children (although we had lots and lots of books) - but we did have the Girl and Eagle annuals at my grandparents' house, which we devoured every time we visited. They are still cherished (and the reprinted versions given as presents).

I can understand them not picking Girl *and* Eagle as they were from the same stable but I still think girls are underepresented in the choices.

I liked Girl or was it Girl's Own.

I don't think you're old enough to have read Girl's Own!

Yes! Had the annuals with the red and yellow covers :-)

How very dare they leave out Girl? I don't consider "same stable" to be a sufficient excuse!

[callmemadam.livejournal.com]

That's it! I've picked up a few of the annuals but I wish I still had my badge.

Quite right, it's outrageous! :-)

Oooh. I may have to stock up on stamps for the year!

Glad someone likes them! I prefer the chaste new Jubilee stamps, most of which you can only get if you buy a minisheet, chiz, chiz.

Bunty, Dandy, Beano and Twinkle were all from the same stable, I think ... Why isn't Tammy there?

Good question!

Your favourites were my favourites, too! I'm shocked that they were left out!

Disgraceful!
