Rebellion, the Oxford-based publisher of 2000AD has been diving through the IPC catalogues they bought up, both reprinting classic British comics stories but also reviving the intellectual properties with new work.

Each were anthologies of three to four page strips, Tammy focusing on Cineralla-style tales of tortured heroines such as Slaves of War Orphan Farm and No Tears for Molly, Jinty has more science-fiction stories. The titles merged in 1981.

And in June, 2000AD is bringing that merger back, with Suicide Squad's Rob Williams, Judge Dredd's Emma Beeby, Bounce Comics' Gráinne McEntee, Doctor Who's Rachael Stott and more. And a cover by Mike Collins.
