LORNA DRAKE

Let's womble far beyond our comfort zone with a challenge from Way Out There. And let’s nibble at the toes of context before we get down to business:

Bunty was a British comics anthology for girls published by D. C. Thomson & Co. from 1958 to 2001. It consisted of a collection of many small strips, typically the stories themselves being three to five pages long… In contrast to earlier and contemporary comics, it was aimed primarily at working class girls under the age of 14, and contained mostly fictional stories.


To me, the decline of Bunty (and similar titles of its era) makes for an odd, slightly sad little history. Ludicrously popular in its day – with its monomaniacal devotion to stories based around “girls’ interests” (which is to say: ponies, gossiping about boys, dressing up, makeup, cooking, etc) – I imagine it watching bemusedly from its point on the banks of the River Of Changing Values, obstinately refusing to go with the flow, before being startled by the bear of Cultural Anachronism and drowning amongst the gambolling salmon of Irrelevance.

Which is a bit of a shame frankly, because some of the stories – had they moved a little more flexibly with the times – couldashouldawoulda developed into Tasty Treats. Take our tiptoe hobbling heroine du jour, Miss Lorna Drake:

Lorna Drake, a ballet dancer, attended the Thelma Mayne Dancing School. Thelma was a ballerina herself before an accident prevented her from dancing ever again. This accident was caused by Lorna's father, also a ballet dancer, who was going blind when he let Thelma Mayne fall during a performance, thus crippling her…


All Of Human Drama is writ here, artchums. Ambitious young woman, stymied by the jealousy and bitterness of a corrupted mentor, must endure a lifelong penance in payment for the sins of her wretched parent.

Um. And also to solve crimes and stuff. And probably wear a lot of leotards.

This isn’t the sort of thing we’re used to doing in these parts, right? Not a whiff of lasers, magic-explodo or spandex sexpestery. So here is instructive clarification:

Pretend Bunty did everything in its power to move with the zeitgeist. Female empowerment, civil rights, contraception, social pressures, yadda yadda yadda. The rolling nebulae of contemporary she-youth interest was chased-down every step of the way.

And now here we are in 2011 – the Actual Fucking Future, yes? – and it’s time to launch a new strip in the pages of Bunty about a girl called Lorna Drake, scion of a troubled ballet clan, revolving loosely around the concept of Dance.

What does that look like, then?]]> REMAKE/REMODEL - The Dancing World Of Lorna Drake (Closes 4th December) http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10354&Focus=316271#Comment_316271 2011-11-21T03:54:08-08:00 2013-05-22T03:17:44-07:00 Seantaclaus http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=6498 Let's womble far beyond our comfort zone with a challenge from Way Out There.

A challenge that uses something from British girls's comics! Did somebody take up my suggestion for such a challenge? If they did, I'm really pleased! I've been part of the research into ...
I've been part of the research into why girls' comics died and the campaign to bring them back. If a new title does come, I hope to be a writer for it.

Well, this challenge sounds right up my alley. Hmm, how shall I bring Bunty and Lorna Drake out of the 'Slough of Despond' (failure of the industry to empathise with readers and writers) as Pat Mills, the big name in British comics, puts it? He did it with Tammy, which went for darkness and grittiness. The early Tammy was full of dark, cruel serials, the most notorious of which was "The Slave of War Orphan Farm". Then there was Misty, which went for goth, horror and the supernatural - and became another remake/remodel around here somewhere. The new trends led to huge sales and a whole new revolution in boys' comics with 2000AD and Battle - but they eventually faded, and the industry slid into what Daddy SI describes above.

There is just one thing I ask: all artists please, please, give the ballet justice! If there is one thing I could never stand in British girls' comics, it was badly-drawn ballet. Some of the ballet was drawn badly because their artists did not draw ballet positions correctly, or their artistic style was not right for ballet, or both.

Of course, there were artists who could draw absolutely fabulous ballet in girls' comics, the best of which (in my opinion) was John Armstrong. If you look at how Armstrong could draw gymnastics, you will see why. It beats me why I saw Armstrong draw only one ballet story, "Jill's Only Joy" from Tammy. He should have been drawing far more ballet stories than that, he was just the artist for it.]]> REMAKE/REMODEL - The Dancing World Of Lorna Drake (Closes 4th December) http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10354&Focus=316367#Comment_316367 2011-11-21T19:40:05-08:00 2013-05-22T03:17:44-07:00 dorkmuffin http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=6719 To @dnewling's point: Reference images for all.

And make him as big a star in the strip as she is! Doesn't sound much, but in a girls' comic it would be radical. Girls' ...
So here I present: Lorna and Larry!

Moreover, as we have been asked to imagine Bunty as something that girls will really sink their teeth into, I added a few other changes to her. Bunty has a new logo (hope you like it!). The Four Marys now have a Facebook. Penny's Place gets a makeover. And I have gone to the ultimate extreme in ballsy for any girls' comic - a serial that tackles the Holocaust. In fact, no girls' comic ever tackled it; their World War II serials were on resistance fighters, underground railroads, and kids on the run from Nazis.

In case anyone is wondering, I have deliberately not put a date on the cover. For one thing, Bunty issues were numbered and I have no idea what Bunty's numbering would be now if she was still running in 2011. For another, I wanted to make this cover timeless.

@ Paul Sizer: I love the way Lorna gets her foot in the bad guy's face! Personally, I think it would be even funnier if Lorna was wearing ballet shoes. But then, I guess she wouldn't want to mess up her ballet shoes - they are expensive!

Incidentally, stories about girl spies or girls working undercover were always popular in girls' comics. M'selle X, Catch the Cat, Danger Girl, The Secret Life of Hateful Hattie, Detestable Della, and The Seeker are just some examples which bore witness to that. As part of their cover, some of them even had to adopt unsavoury/sycophantic personas that made them hated and despised by the people they were secretly helping. This made it easier for them to conduct their work without being suspected - but at the same time, harder for them because they had to endure hatred and abuse as part of their cover. Catch the Cat, Detestable Della, and Hateful Hattie are classic examples.]]> REMAKE/REMODEL - The Dancing World Of Lorna Drake (Closes 4th December) http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10354&Focus=316948#Comment_316948 2011-11-27T14:07:51-08:00 2013-05-22T03:17:44-07:00 Paul Sizer http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=44 You know, this is one of the reasons I kind of hate this thread.
