Tennis comics from Lucky Charm

I'm off to the tennis at Wimbledon today so, to celebrate, here are the most tennis themed covers I could find, all 3 are Lucky Charm covers....this 30 issue reprint series is hard work to track down, certainly harder work than it's 'brother' paper Red Dagger. It's worth it though for an introduction to girls comics and a snapshot of stories that are not likely to be reprinted any time soon. And the Ian Kennedy covers (like issue 12 below), did I mention the Ian Kennedy covers?

I've got copies of these volumes on my shelf but I lazily lifted these scans from the fantastic Girls comics of yesteryear website (here)

Following on from my Red Dagger cover gallery, here's part 1 of a cover gallery for its sister title Lucky Charm. Again, Ian Kennedy provides a number of covers

Thanks to ebay for providing most of these scans.

These are a rare set and it's hard work (and can be expensive) collecting all 30 issues.

Tennis comics - sort of

To round off this most tennis-y of weekends here are the most tennis themed covers I could find, both are Lucky Charm covers....this 30 issue reprint series is hard work to track down, certainly harder work than it's 'brother' paper Red Dagger. It's worth it though for an introcduction to girls comics and a snapshot of stories that are not likely to be reprinted any time soon. And the Ian Kennedy covers (like issue 12 below), did I mention the Ian Kennedy covers?

I've got copies of both these volumes on my shelf but I lazily lifted these scans from the fantastic Girls comics of yesteryear website (here)
