Re: Jackie magazine

Hi there,

I don't suppose anyone has any Jackie issues from 1965? I'm looking for a certain piece for an article I'm writing.

'Darren', who's contributed so much to this thread, seems not to be contactable because his mailbox is full...

I'd be ridiculously grateful for any help!

Many thanks,
Colin.

Re: Jackie magazine

My sister (or was it my mother?) used to get Jackie in the early 1980s - was it DC Thomson that published it?

Didn't it start in 1964, probably January, around the time that TOTP started?

Re: Jackie magazine

when did it start, when did it finish ?

Re: Jackie magazine

I am sure it started at the start of 1964 and end in the mid 1990s? Around the time when Tampax and Li-lets adverts dominated the back pages?

Re: Jackie magazine

How different was it as a magazine to say, Woman or Woman's Own? (which seem to be sub-Hello or OK magazines these days).

Re: Jackie magazine

There are lot of women's magazines on eBay dating back several decades, and it's amazing that even the IPC ones like Woman's Own seemed to be aimed at elderly women up until the 1970s - now, one can imagine a mother in her 20s reading the stuff as it is full of celebrity nonsense and a little less on the medical stuff. From the late 1970s onwards they sometimes had men on the front cover, usually of the celebrity heartthrob kind - something which wouldn't have happened in the 1950s or 1960s. One thing about this is that it is nice to see a man on the cover, and I am sure that the female readers like it as well!

Re: Jackie magazine

I like how you refer to them as "girly mags"!

Re: Jackie magazine

COULD BE there are still some and schoolboy and schoolgirl mags on the shelves
but not nearly as many as in the 60s and 70s....

the internet is slowly killing everything off
