Thanks for the information.
The story of ‘Wonder Girl!’ starting in MANDY 107 certainly doesn’t end in issue 122, as stated above, but in issue 125 (June 7 1965). Members require information please, not guesswork.
So the reprint omitted 3 episodes, I probably shouldn’t have assumed they were the same length, thanks for the correction.
I have the full run of the 19 issues of MANDY that contain the story’s first printing between 107 and 125. Where the reprint is concerned, though, I only have 7 of the 16 episodes between 479 and 494.
The 1976 reprint has been translated into Dutch as “Kim, wonderatlete” (Kim, wonder athelete) and published in Debbie Parade Album #14 (1981).
