I had spoke of the forbidden comics of my boyhood and how that left minus an important side of my life because of the extreme gender policing of that era but it is possible to recap on those things you missed out upon.
Rebellion Publishing own the rights to many of those Fleetway/IPC comic titles of our era and that does include such comics as Jinty which did feature girls science fiction stories and tomorrow they will release this specially compiled volume of two favourites from 1979, Land of No Tears and The Human Zoo.
Whilst undergoing surgery on her lame leg, Cassy Shaw is transported into a dystopian future in which people with genetic defects are regarded as second class citizens. Unable to accept such objectionable discrimination, Cassy attempts to rally her peers (the Gamma girls) into beating the Alpha girls in several sporting events. Can she win the Golden Girl award and prove herself an equal?
Twin sisters Shona and Jenny are kidnapped along with their classmates by a superior race of telepathic aliens. Brought back to the aliens' home planet, Shona and some other human captives are kept in cages where they are treated and displayed like animals, while Jenny is sold to another owner. Will the twins ever be able to reunite and escape by to Earth?
They have been carefully restored from they days they were printed on newsprint to be consumed and soon disposed of so the story telling and drawing genius can be appreciated today.
I'm so looking forward to getting this.
