Stories with a Twist
Many of the single stories in Misty featured characters who caused trouble. These characters often faced strange or fantastic punishments for their actions. It was a way to show that bad deeds could have surprising consequences.
Text Stories and Ghost Tales
Besides the comic strips, Misty also included text stories. At first, these were brand new stories. Later, they changed to retellings of famous British ghost stories. Some of these ghost stories were even sent in by the readers themselves!
