Bunty was a British comic for girls published by D. C. Thomson & Co. from 1958 to 2001.[1] It consisted of a collection of many small strips, the stories typically being three to five pages long. In contrast to earlier and contemporary comics, it was aimed primarily at working-class readers under the age of 14, and contained mostly fictional stories.[2] Well-known regular strips from Bunty include The Four Marys , Bunty — A Girl Like You, Moira Kent, Lorna Drake, Luv, Lisa, The Comp , and Penny's Place.
