Misty Annual

Re: Misty Annual

I've never seen that souvenir issue here in Éire Tony, I'd say it's great. Maybe it's only available in the UK.

I have a feeling it was restricted to the UK. They actually released foyur issues over the course of the year, each one devoted to a different comic-Misty, Buster, Roy of the Rovers and Battle. There were distribution problems with the Buster one though, even over here.

Re: Misty Annual

I have a couple of the annuals, and also a few of the comics. Egmont rteleased a Misty souvenir special last year, oddly enough.

Re: Misty Annual

That sounds like a lovely Christmas Day Ann,so similar to mine.I usually sat on the carpet near the coal fire when i read my Christmas Annuals and ate my Selection Boxes.I wish i had got the Misty Annuals when i was a child,it would have added a lot more spooky fun to my Christmas Imagination.Beautiful Memories.

Re: Misty Annual

I hadn't been on the site in a while..I see the cover illustration has gone all cgi. I enjoyed all those stories. There's an edition of the annual I'd love to get, I'm not sure but it could be 1980. There was a great story in it..'The haunting of form 2B(or 3B)', it was serialised throughout the book. I can remember curling up on the sofa on many Christmas days with my selection box and my Misty annual, I always got a few annuals but it was the best of the bunch. Great memories.

Re: Misty Annual

Thank you for the link Ann.I love that site.I never knew all of the Misty Annuals were about spooky goings on until i saw that site.I thought i may have come across a one off book.I think i will try and get hold of as many as possible now.I absolutely adore the pictures in them.
I am at The Cavern of Dreams now,and it is great to see the stories and pictures,and be able to read them online.I must buy them all now,so i can read them in all their full size glory!

Re: Misty Annual

Moonvisage, I love Misty. I used to get the comics and annuals at Christmas. Mad I didn't keep them. I recently bought 2 annuals on Ebay. 1981 and 1984.. The stories in the 1981 edition were-

Mountain Girl
Somewhere
Strange Inheritance
The Evil Garden
Voodoo
Rubie's best friend
The Haunted Library
Ghostly Music
Rag Doll
Phantom of the Mist
The Weird Sisters
Prince of Lightning

Here's a link the the website http://mistycomic.co.uk/Mistycomic.co.uk.html
If you click on Cavern of Dreams at the top of the page you can get to read a story.
The quality of the stories were top class as were many of the 70s girls annuals. I've also a few Mandys and Jintys, one Tammy and one Judy.
