History of Girls Comics

Susan Brewer taps into the nostalgic women s market for comics from their childhood Jackie, Girl’s Own, Bunty etc, from the early days in Victorian England to teen mags and TV-related comics, including Teletubbies and C Beebies. The book will also cover part works such as the highly collectable Vicky and other collectables, including annuals, cover mounts and giveaways and toys and games tie-ins, including board games. Both collectables and nostalgic, this will appeal to the late twenty-fifties market the Golden Age of Comics date from the 1950-70s and, whilst there has been plenty on boy s comics with their superheroes and action men, the girls market has been surprisingly neglected but is highly collectables. Susan Brewer is an expert in toys and children s collectables.
