This page appears to be a lot less detailed than other pages, I’m trying to find details on this specific story, “The Bubble Ballerinas,” but seeing as it’s from the 70’s I am unable to find any information on it. Would you be willing to provide scans from this particular story? If not, information on any reprints would be of great value.
I only had the one issue of this story, which I can’t seem to track down right now. Meanwhile I can ask at comicsuk forum if anyone can help with more details or scans.

The plot is that Jenna Jones and her ballet school are abducted and taken to a remote island to teach Zuleika, the daughter of a wealthy Sultan, to dance. This is no easy task as Zuleika is not only a spoiled brat but also way too tubby to be a ballerina. Zuleika captured the girls by means of a toy that blows giant bubbles, and it catches all escapees as well.
She also posted an episode:

To escape, the girls asked for fish and chips then used the vinegar to burst the bubbles.
The Bubble Ballerinas ends in BUNTY 839 (February 9 1974).
