June was a weekly British girls’ comic published from 18 March 1961 to 15 June 1974 by Fleetway Publications, when it merged into the fellow Fleetway title Tammy (along the way, June absorbed three other titles). June featured a mix of text serials (with spot illustrations) and comic strips.
The problem page was called Angela Replies… (written by Angela Barrie) and the letter column was called Pick of the Post and then later Tell Us about It!. By the early 1970s, the popular fashion doll Sindy appeared in June in Sindy’s Scene: Her Diary and Club Page and the strip Sindy and Her Friends, drawn by Phil Townsend.
June launched 18 March 1961. The character of June herself, a blond schoolgirl with a headband, often appeared on the cover, sometimes with her dog Jiffy.
After 174 issues, June absorbed the short-lived title Poppet with the issue of 18 July 1964. The merged title, June and Poppet, published five issues before reverting to June.
After 23 more issues, on 30 January 1965, June merged with School Friend (which had launched in 1950), bringing with it the Bessie Bunter, Lucky’s Living Doll, and The Strangest Stories Ever Told (featuring The Storyteller) comic strips. The merged title, June and School Friend, published 355 issues until 13 November 1971, when it reverted to June.
With the issue of 20 January 1973, June merged with Pixie[1] (another short-lived title), becoming June and Pixie. After 74 more issues, it was merged into Tammy on 22 June 1974.[2] The strips Bessie Bunter, Lucky’s Living Doll, and Mam’selle X continued in Tammy.
There was also a June and School Friend Picture Library, which published 36 issues in 1965–1966. Absorbing the Princess Picture Library, that title became June and School Friend and Princess Picture Library, publishing an additional 183 issues in the period 1966–1969. Reverting to June and School Friend Picture Library, the title published 32 more issues in the period 1969–1971. (The series began as Schoolgirls’ Picture Library in the period 16 July 1957 – 1965 before becoming June and School Friend Picture Library.)[3]
A number of June and School Friend annuals and specials were published in the period 1965–1980.[4][5][6]
In 2007, Carlton Publishing Group released The Best of June and School Friend.
