  • Jinty

    Jinty was a weekly comic book and annual for girls from 1974 to 1981, when it merged with Tammy. I seem to remember a story about two tower blocks that lead into parallel worlds. Unlike its rivals, Misty, Jinty focussed each week on a different theme, such as science fiction. As well as comic strips, Jinty also featured letters pages, horoscopes, articles on pop stars etc. Past strips included: The Robot Who Cried - about a robot girl; The Land Of No Tears - a girl with a limp travels to the future; The Human Zoo - classmates are kidnapped by telepathic aliens; Child Of The Rain - after a trip to the Amazon rainforest, a girl finds every time it rains she becomes filled with mysterious power; A Girl Called Gulliver - Gwenny Gulliver looks after the last of the Lilliputians; House Of The Past - time travel to the 1930s.

    The story about the two tower blocks is "The Sentinels" and appeared in Misty, not Jinty.

      Some of my favourite Jinty stories are:

      "Waves of Fear" - Clare Harvey becomes a target of bullying after she has a claustrophobia attack during an accident that is misconstrued as cowardice.
      "Tears of a Clowne" - Kathy Clowne is bullied to the point where she runs away.
      "Worlds Apart" - six girls experience strange worlds ruled by greed, sports-mania, vanity, crime, intellectualism and fear after being knocked out by gas.
      "Dracula's Daughter" - an authoritarian headmaster runs an overzealous campaign to turn a free-and-easy school into a strict grammar school.
      "Song of the Fir Tree" - two children survive a concentration camp but are now on the run from the traitor who put them there.
      "Bound for Botany Bay" - Betsty Tanner and her father are transported under the harsh 19th century justice.
