2 | ''Jinty'' was a weekly British comic for girls published by Fleetway in London from 1974 to 1981, at which point it merged with Tammy. While there were similarities with its Creator/{{Fleetway}} stablemates ComicBook/{{Tammy}} and ComicBook/{{Misty}}, each comic had its own focus, with Jinty concentrating on science fiction or otherwise fantastical stories. |
