Excellent! Thanks for sharing.

It's quite refreshing to see these old comics when shrinking was all about innocence and having adventures, without all the usual sexual innuendo. The illustrations are good too, and a credit to those hard working artists who had to keep up these standards on a weekly basis.

I completely agree! Not that I don’t love the sexual situations, but obviously things like comics and movies and books that never had the intention of sexualizing the subject in the first place are what triggered so many of us to begin with. I always love a good tiny adventure!

Yes indeed. I guess a lot of 'innocent' size related comic stories inspired many a young imagination to develop on the theme, and as we grew older would lead us to were we are now.

"Land of The Giants" was a prime example, were there was never a hint of anything sexual afoot on the screen, but those 60s female fashions more than made up for what didn't happen eh!

The good old 'what if' factor at work!

Thank you so much for posting these comics!
Could you also get "Slaves of the Silver Sphere"?
I really want to see what happens when the sphere opens...

I'll do my best, but the hard part is tracking all the issues from eBay or other online sources. It's really annoying that the editor of 90% of these comics, D.C. Thomson & Co., scared away most websites hosting scans with DMCA-like copyright takedowns. Since they don't offer any alternatives to buy copies legally, scalpers and resellers are now having a field day asking for ridiculous prices for these 50+ years old comics.

I see, it sounds really tough and not fair... thank you for sharing with us the ones you've got!!

Still looking for those rare comics, managed to get a few but they're hard to find. I'll have to get a scanner too, but so far I have :

* Liz of Little Barton (almost complete, missing 2 issues)
* Polly on Pygmy Planet (complete)
* Microgirl (just one issue for now)
* Incredible Adventures of Mini-Mum (single issue)

Looking for:

* Tiny Tammy – Mandy #1150 (28 January 1989) – #1164 (6 May 1989)
* The Great Big World of Minnie Hopper – Mandy: circa #107 (?)
* Mary's Mini Mum - Mandy & Judy #28 (23 November 1991) – #36 (18 January 1992)
* Mini-Mum! - Mandy: circa 1052 (14 March 1987) – ?
* Slaves of the Silver Sphere

If anyone sees those on eBay or anywhere, DM me.

1985? It looks like such '60s art.

From Jinty magazine, "A Spell Of Trouble". A shrinking spell, of course.

The story is supposed to fault Angela, but it sure makes her point for her.

Thanks so much for these incredible finds!

True, and the intended punishment seems kinda harsh. Not that I'm complaining.

You're welcome! Let's all give thanks to these incredible artists and writers who put SO much SW content in these old comics.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Another short one from Sally magazine, shrinking episode from Maisie's Magic Eye (I posted the previous one earlier in this thread).

From Bunty magazine (1980-1981), Shrinking Violet was a short series that lasted just about a year, usualy one-pagers about Violet Vickers, a girl that randomly shrinks. Once tiny, the only thing that can make her normal size again is Fizz Wizz lemonade.

Another one from Bunty magazine (1974). An Irish girl named Lydia found the Land of the Little People (she's like a mini-giantess to them), and has a short shrinking story in a single issue.
