Jane Bond from Princess Tina is coming to the Treasury of British Comics, according to their social media.
"The name’s Bond … Jane Bond! With the lavish art of Mike Hubbard, the artist of iconic Daily Mirror strip ‘Jane’, lovingly restored to its full glory, this collection of campy espionage adventure stories from 1960s girls’ comic Princess Tina is coming in April 2023!"
Princess Tina was a weekly British girls' comic published from 1967 to 1973 by the International Publishing Company, initially under the Fleetway Publications banner.
Jane Bond: Secret Agent, drawn by Mike Hubbard, followed Jane - a female counterpart of a well-known male protagonist. You should be able to guess who that was. James Bond.
Sent by the World Police Force to deal with a criminal mastermind named Leopold (alias the Lobster), Jane made use of a parachute hidden in a handbag, exploding jewellery and a lipstick radio as she tangled with her opponent. Leopold had some tricks up his sleeve himself, most memorably a giant mechanical lobster.
The estate of Ian Fleming did not authorise the strip, so no specific connections to her male counterpart were mentioned.
