"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 "June", "Jinty", and "Misty" [http://www.comicsuk.co.uk/FamilyTree/FamilyTreeChartWhole.asp?SelectTitleBox=Tammy&Submit=Go&BView=Tree Comics UK Family Tree for "Tammy"] ] .

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 [http://www.26pigs.com/tammy/index.html 26pigs page on "Tammy"] ] .
