A list of British girls’ comics stories translated into Dutch, sent in by Sleuth from Catawiki. Ramon Schenk has also been an invaluable source, particularly in the DCT Dutch translations. The initial list focuses on stories from Jinty but as we know further details of stories from other titles we will add these in. These were mostly published in the weekly comic Tina and/or in the reprint album format Tina Topstrip. The list below shows the original title, followed by the title in the Dutch translation, with a literal translation in [square brackets] where appropriate, and then the details of the publication that the translation appeared in. It is ordered by date of original publication.

Tina Boelboek
Tina Boelboek was a bit like the annuals in the UK, only they were published more frequently. They started as Groot Tina Boek in 1975. Two times a year a 192 page book (from Winter 1980 onwards reduced to 160 pages) was published with short comics, short stories, things-to-do, and always two long comics stories. From 1980 onwards, four books were published each year (Groot Tina Lenteboek (Spring), Groot Tina Zomerboek (Summer), Groot Tina Herfstboek (Authumn) and Groot Tina Winterboek (Winter). In Winter 1984 they left out the names of the seasons in the title and the name was changed to Tina Boelboek. The final book was published in Spring 1986.
Most of the stories were reprints from Tammy, Jinty, Sally, June, Princess Tina, Penny and other UK Girls’ comics.
Here’s a list of some titles from Jinty that were reprinted in these books. If the Dutch title was not a translation of the original English title, I added the translation of the Dutch title between brackets.

#22 is ‘Anna’s forbidden friend’ from Sandie.
I’m not sure if #3 is ‘Wee Sue’. At least not the Wee Sue I have in my Tammy’s from the 80’s. This story was published in Tina in 1973, so it must probably be from 1971-72. Please have a look here for a picture of the first page: http://www.catawiki.nl/catalogus/strips/series-helden/kimmy-op-de-modetoer/76578-1973-nummer-10
We shall have to see what others say. I don’t know much about Wee Sue though I think she was drawn by more than one artist.
You’re right. I received some Tammys from 1973, and there she is suddenly drawn by Mario Capaldi. And the stories from 1973 are themed the same as the ones from Tina Topstrip 3, so I guess the information must be correct!
I don’t know who drew Wee Sue when she appeared in Sandie.
The Tammy artists who drew Wee Sue were:
Mario Capaldi
John Richardson
Richard Neillands
Hugh Thornton-Jones
Robert MacGillivray
Mike White
John Johnston
Jim Eldridge
I’ve got some more additions of the original publications of stories in Tina Topstrip:
3. The episodes of Wee Sue in this publication are not from Tammy, but from Sandie (1972)
5. Designed for fame (Princess Tina, 1972)
6. Lorna’s lonely days (Sandie, 1972)
22. Anna’s forbidden friend (Sandie, 1972)
46. Peggy in the middle (Sandie, 1972)
And 36 is not a Patty’s Word story, but again a Patty and the Big Silver Bull Band story.
It would be interesting to find out the original publication of 33, ‘Het gebeurde in Parkzicht’. That is one of the best stories I’ve ever read in Tina. It’s a hospital/nurse story, in which several storylines were going on at the same time. It lasted for 15 episodes (45 pages) in early 1977. But I think the original might have lasted even longer, because the end we got offered is satisfactory, but you feel there could have been more after it.
It is not quite clear where it might have been published. The Dutch Tina most of the time used stories from IPC, but it’s not from Jinty, Lindy, Tammy, Sally or Sandie. I doubt it’s from (Princess) Tina. It might be June, but I also doubt that. But there are not many other options if it is IPC, are there?
Many thanks for this information, Marc – I’ve updated the list. As for number 33, could you send through any scans of the story? I can post it as a separate post asking for any help people can give – or of course if you’re on the UK Comics Forum you could post them there, as there are lots of helpful people there. I’d certainly be interested in seeing it, too!
I have a scan of the first page. How can I send it?
I tried to become a member of the UK Comics Forum, but I never received a confirmation. On the site it says you can contact the moderators, but I can’t seem to find a way to contact them. If I click on their names, I only get a message that I can not contact them without being a member… 😦
Oh dear – I’ve never joined the forum myself so I can’t advise, but Mistyfan might be able to. In any case if you email the page to me (jenni.scott@gmail.com) then I can upload it on a new post, asking the question more generally. Thanks in advance!
That story is Wee Sue, but the original Wee Sue when she appeared in Sandie comic. When Sandie merged with Tammy, Wee Sue was carried over but the story totally changed it’s tone, becoming less of a ‘straight’ story and morphing into the lighter version in Tammy. Miss Bigger wasn’t in the Sandie version and only appeared after the merger.
Although I am pretty sure that most stories of the Dutch list must have been published in the Greek magazines MANINA, KaTERINA and Patty till 2000, when their circulation ceased, I definitely know from my collection that the following stories were published in MANINA between 1972-1976:
– Gwen’s stolen Glory
– Dora Dogsbody
– Always together
– Left out Linda
– Wenna the Witch
– Slave of the Mirror
– The Cat and Mouse game
– Barracuda Bay
Could you please update so the list of Greek translations?
Done, and many thanks!
Are there any more? Lists of Tammy story translations after the Jinty merger, for example? And by any chance is there a Dutch reprint of Cora Can’t Lose that could tell us what the ending was?
Wow, what an amazingly useful resource this page is! I am researching the Dutch Tina title, and will be sure to incorporate a lot of the work colllected here in my indexes over at the Grand Comics Database.
Many thanks to all who contributed!
Regards,
Ramon
Is there any more information about Dutch translations? Translations of Tammy stories post the Jinty merger? I am sure I saw a Dutch translation of Almost Human somewhere, are there any more details somewhere? And has anyone got information on a Dutch translation of a Mandy story called Bad Luck Barbara, retitled The Petty Child (English translation of the Dutch)?
‘Almost human’ was published in Tina in 1984. It was then called ‘De verloren planeet’ (The lost planet).
‘Bad luck Barbara’ was reprinted in Debbie Parade Album 45, titled ‘Barbara brengt ongeluk’ (Barbara brings bad luck). If I remember well, this was the title on the front page, but in the volume itself it was called ‘Het Petty kind’.
I spotted an error in No Cheers for Cherry Geen applaus voor Sandra [No Applause for Sandra] (in: Groot Tina Zomerboek 1983-2). Shouldn’t it be 1983-4?
1983-4 would be the Winterboek. Spring was 1, Summer 2, Authum 3 and Winter 4. From 1980 onwards, the books were numbered per year. I.e. 1980-1, 1980-2, etc. 1984-3 is the last one with this kind of number.
“Odds on Patsy” (Tammy) was translated into Dutch as “Een jockey van formaat” and published in Tina #1/984-13/1984).
Regards,
Ramon
“Jaws Three” (Tammy) was translated into Dutch as “Kletsmajoor” and published in Tina #48/1983-4/1984).
Regards,
Ramon
Thank you, Ramon. Please let us know of any further information.
Angel (Mandy, 1977): Debbie Parade Album #15 – No, this actually ‘The Children’s Champion’, not Angel. The Dutch title is confusing the issue.
Promise me, Paula (June, 1972) is ‘Beloof Me, Marjorie’, in Tina (1974, nos. 25-52)
Thank you for the information. Updated now.
I don’t think “Nellie Nightingale” from Bunty (1990) is the same story as “De gevangen nachtegaal” from Tina. That would mean the story was published in Tina (February) before it was published in Bunty (July). Also, I think the story from Tina has art by “B. Jackson” and not by Dudley Wynne.
***
Checked it just now on LastDodo: yes it has art by B. Jackson. See here: https://www.lastdodo.nl/nl/items/77462-1990-nummer-7
So this is not a reprint of “Nellie Nightingale”.
You can access a lot of the Dutch comics here:
https://comicsforall269084760.wordpress.com/2022/01/03/main-page-girl-comics/
Might be worth checking.
It seems to open with a girl who has been unable to speak after seeing her parents run over by a cart in the street. Does that ring any bells with anyone?
“Een vlieger voor Mischa” is a reprint of “Fly-away Fay”, originally published in Penny in 1979, issues 12-23.
Thank you for the information, Marckie.
Yes, thanks! Very good to close this chapter!
Regards,
Ramon
I wonder if we could close this one too, which also came up recently from Girls Comics of Yesterday:
‘Looking to identify another story. This one is called “Een hondeleven voor Hanneke” in Dutch, which translates back as “A Dog’s Life for Hanneke” (Hannah, maybe?). It was serialized in 17 3-page installments in 1984, so a total page count of 51 pages…A teen girl follows her dog into the house of her high school science teacher. There, their minds (the dog’s and the girl’s) are accidentally swapped. The girl then has to keep her body safe while convincing everyone she is not a dog…Oh, a twist at the end: the science teacher is punished by having his mind transferred to the body of… a budgie.’
A sample can be found at https://www.lastdodo.com/en/items/77170-1984-nummer-28
I wonder if this one also came from Penny. No luck so far anywhere else.
I have a complete run of Penny, and this story is not in there.
From Penny only four stories have been reprinted in the Netherlands:
– Fly-away Fay (Een vlieger voor Mischa, Tina 1984)
– Seulah the seal (Sjoela de zeehond, Tina 1980-81)
– Kathy’s convict (De man in het bos, Tina 1981)
– Kay’s camp site (Een camping voor Conny, Tina Boelboek 6 1985)
