Appeared:
- One Shall Be Queen– Bunty: #181 (1 July 1961) – #189 (26 August 1961)
This was one of my favourite Bunty stories. Great website. It’s a shame there are no similar girls comics today.
One Shall Be Queen ran in BUNTY 181 (1 July 1961) – 189 (26 August 1961). To find this information I had to consult David Roach’s listing of BUNTY’s serials because my issues from 1961 and some other early years, are still in the lock-up in Penzance. I can assure Laura that David’s listings are carefully researched and therefore completely reliable.
I presume Podge is just a nickname?
Yes. I can’t remember what her real name was or even if it was ever mentioned in the story. I haven’t managed so far to track down the original Buntys in which the story appeared. But now I have a better idea of around when this story was published. Thanks to this website. The Misty sounds a great comic but it appeared after I had moved onto to teenage reading. Sadly!
I didn’t see your post David before I posted. Sorry about that. Thanks very much for the extra information re dates.
And I also managed to get your name wrong. Apologies.
