Girls' comics contributors who need their own articles

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

These woman were all significant contributors to British women's comics. Their names aren't listed in the article due to them not being considered notable, but I believe they deserve articles of their own. Especially Marion Turner, who, according to the Girls Comics of Yesterday website,

...under the pen name Fiona Turner, submitted over 500 scripts to various DC Thomson magazines/comics, from 1973 to her retirement in 1994. Stories that will be well remembered by many people including Supercats (Spellbound) Madame Marlova Remembers (Debbie), The Double Life of Sad Sarah (Mandy), and Cybela (Judy).^[1]

Benita Brown — Tammy (Tomorrow Town)^[2]^[3]
Mavis Miller — Jinty editor^[2]

- Mandy: A Friend Like Freda, Diana's Dark Secret, Horror Movie!, “It’s My Turn Now!”, Just My Luck, Mum and Mr. Harding, My Twin Next Door, No Trust for Tessa, Our Fairy Grandmother, Simpsons In The Sky, Snow White And The Seventh Dwarf, "Stop Bossing Me Around!", The Double Life of Sad Sarah, The Hand of Fear
- M&J: Baker’s Dozen
- Judy: Bess’s Secret Brother, Cold As Charity, Cybela, Part-Time Supergirl, The Nobody of the School, The Princess Who Never Was, The Unwanted Ones, Where Is Melanie Forbes?
