    Tammy was a weekly British comic for girls published by Fleetway in London from 1971 to 1984, at which point it merged with Girl. Other titles which had merged with Tammy before then include Sally, Sandie, June, Jinty, and Misty.[1] The first Editor was Gerry Finley-Day, followed by Wilf Prigmore.
    It consisted of a collection of many small strips, with the stories themselves normally being three or four pages long. As well as the weekly comic, Christmas annuals were also published. While there were similarities with its Fleetway stablemates Jinty and Misty, each comic had its own focus, with Tammy concentrating on sadder Cinderella-themed stories[2] and dark tales of tortured heroines, most notoriously in Slaves of War Orphan Farm and No Tears for Molly. Tammy’s respective merges with Misty brought darker, horror tones, and her merge with Jinty more science-fiction. Despite these, changes in editorship brought Tammy to a more traditional mold in storytelling during the 1980s. The dark, cruel streaks that made Tammy so revolutionary in the 1970s had disappeared, except for Bella Barlow.
    Tammy had more long-running regulars than most girls’ comics due to her respective merges. The Tammy and Sandie brought Wee Sue in 1973. The Tammy and June merger brought Bessie Bunter and the Storyteller with The Strangest Stories Ever Told in 1974. The Tammy and Misty merger brought Miss T and Misty herself to join the Storyteller, in 1980. The Tammy and Jinty merger brought Pam of Pond Hill in 1981.

    Also it had a total of 689 issues

    I was 10 in 1984 and an avid reader of Tammy. Living in NZ I had to wait for the magazines to be sea mailed to NZ so that I could buy them from the local shop. I was so sad that the last magazine never arrived due to the printers strike. I searched for years and bought many Tammy magazines in hopes of being able to finish the stories I had followed. Eg E.T Estates. I have the penultimate Tammy magazine but of course, the last one was never seen by me. Does anyone have the last magazine so they could show me what happens in the final magazine. After 34 years I would love to know how E.T Estates finished.

    Tammy 1979-01-20 has been very badly scanned, it would be good if you could find a new scan of it ( especially as it’s the start of the very interesting story Thursday’s child )

    I downloaded Tammy holiday special 1982 and found page 46 is upside down. Hope that can be corrected. Thank you for uploading it, though! Looking forward to more Tammys and Jinty’s uploaded here.
