19 November 1983: Tammy

This issue of Tammy, 39 years old this week, boasted the first episode of a serialisation of the first of Anne Digby’s Trebizon novels, based in a girl’s boarding school. Digby adapted the text for the comic herself, and it was illustrated by Phil Gascoine.

There’s a nice interview with Anne by Jenni Scott on the Resource on Jinty site, mentioning a 70s trend for girls away from comics to text-based fiction https://jintycomic.wordpress.com/2016/01/15/anne-digby-interview/

The Trazodone File. Four of these six girls are now serving Cabinet ministers. Sally Elphinstone can currently be seen on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Rebecca Mason has columns in both the Telegraph and the Guardian, and a boozy 1am current affairs show on Times Radio.
