Plot:

The lives of famous people explored in 2 page strip. It covered a variety of people  including ballerinas, athletes, actors and singers/bands. In the 70s a lot more bands and singers were the subject of the strip and instead of “[Name of Person] Growing Up” the title was changed to “Meet  [Name of Person] ” (e.g. Meet Thin Lizzy).

Notes:

• The stories appeared regularly at first but then became more sporadic, often used as filler before a new story started.
• In the 70s it returned to more regular schedule, but still not always in consecutive issues. It was sometimes named Meet… rather than Growing Up.
