And now, something completely different. This 1982 annual is for the British "girls magazine" Judy, and a what an odd thing it is. Mostly comic strip short stories, but I was surprised at how dark and judgemental they are, especially for a magazine aimed at 10-12 year olds! Not just mean-girl-at-school-gets-her-come-uppence, but actual death and hell-fire. There's a healthy dose of the supernatural, and the same plot twists get used multiple times. I didn't read this as a kid, and looking at this sampler-set, I suspect I would have eaten it up.
