Notes
Appeared
- Slave of the Tennis Racquet – Mandy: #67 (27 April 1968) – #86 (7 September 1968)
- Reprinted as Sheena Slave of the Tennis Racquet – Mandy: #431 (19 April 1975) – #448 (16 August 16 1975)
- Reprinted as Sheena Slave of the Tennis Racket – Lucky Charm #24 (1983)
‘Slave Of The Tennis Racket’ is the correct title for the LUCKY CHARM reprint, Lorraine, but not for the serial’s first appearance in MANDY (67-86), in which ‘Racket’ was spelt ‘Racquet’.
Just to clarify, in my post above, I was focusing on the spelling of racket/racquet. The complete title in the LUCKY CHARM reprint was ‘Sheena – Slave Of The Tennis Racket’, not just ‘Slave Of The Tennis Racket’. The title ‘Slave Of The Tennis Racquet’ was the one used in the 1968 serial in MANDY (67-86).
The reprint “Sheena Slave of the Tennis Racquet” ends in Mandy #448 (August 16, 1975) instead of #450.
Corrected, thank you.
