Bunty and Princess Tina. There was also June & Schoolfriend but I don't recall reading it. My brother and I used to collect our magazines on a Friday from the newsagent near our school. They were put by for us, which I thought was very posh! I read his mags too - Dandy and Beano. I liked the story strip about Marina from Thunderbirds but can't remember which mag it was in.
I remember there was a serial about a girl with a lovely voice who was freckly and did the singing behind a curtain while a more glamorous looking girl mimed. Not very pc!
Our cousins passed on their Treasure and Look & Learn. One of them had a comic strip story about Roman emperors which I found useful when I read "I, Claudius" in my teens.
Jackie was a stepping stone between girls' mags and the more sophisticated Honey, Petticoat and 19.
