How do you know this?
Because I have in my collection all the issues of Bunty that contain the serial, except 533.
I loved this story so much and it has stayed with me over the years. I remember how she made old scuffed shoes shiny using the hot poker from the fire. I would love to read this again. Any idea how I can? Would anybody have the whole series and sell it as a comic book? I’d be first in line to buy it.
It can be hard to find complete stories, ebay or 30thcenturycomics.co.uk are the probably the best places to find old Bunty stories. There is one episode of Princess of Sorrow from Bunty #535 available here: http://www.beeworld.net.au/buntycomic5.htm
I remember it well. My sister got it me for my 40th birthday in 1999 by writing to Bunty. They didn’t have it in their collection but some kind soul photocopied it for me 🙂
