Misty was a weekly British comic magazine targeted at girls and published by Fleetway in the late 1970s. Focusing on horror stories, it was one of the few British girls' comics that was also popular with boys.[1] Although Misty lasted less than two years it is remembered and admired to this day.[2][3]
