I ordered the @britcomics webshop exclusive hardcover of Spell of Trouble because I am becoming fascinated with vintage British girl’s comics. The art, by Trini Tinturé, is the real star of the collection, and I love the new cover she painted for this book. I also really liked how both stories told somewhat traditional good girl vs bad girl fantasies, featuring witches and magic, but both told from the perspective of the “villain.” I’m also fascinated that at one point in British comics history, girls were a specific demographic to market comics to, and I can’t help wondering what it would be like if American comics had taken a similar path at any point. #thismakesmehappy #books #2022reading #bookstagram #comics #graphicnovel #britishcomics #treasuryofbritishcomics #jinty #spelloftrouble #trinitinture #trinitinturé #creepycrawly #girlscomics #rebellionpublishing https://www.instagram.com/p/CjyCELEJpUd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
