Misty was a weekly British comic magazine for girls published by Fleetway in London from 4 February 1978 until 12 January 1980, when it merged with Tammy (which then became known as Tammy and Misty until September 1981). Summer and holiday specials were published between 1978 and 1980, as well as eight annuals from 1979 until 1986, long after the weekly magazine had ceased to exist.
Content
Misty was a collection of one-off single stories and instalments of serials, both story types usually being four pages long. While Misty had similarities with its Fleetway stablemates Tammy and Jinty, each magazine had its own focus. Misty concentrated on supernatural and horror stories. One-off stories often had troublemaking protagonists being punished in fantastic fashion. Text stories were initially new stories, but later shifted to retellings of British ghost stories, some of which were submitted by readers.
