Jackie introduced itself to itself to its female
readership in January 1964 which was only two months following the
death of the American president John F Kennedy and some believe that the comic may have derived its
name from the name of president's wife, the first lady, Jackie Kennedy.
Jackie was extremely popular with girls and it would often produce
special editions for pop stars such as David Cassidy. Jackie was published
using a mixture of fashion and beauty tips, gossip and short stories, Jackie was
popular schoolgirl fayre. The centre spread usually focused on popular
singers and film stars. Unlike the boys' comics, Jackie had a "Cathy
and Claire" problem page which was extremely popular with its readership. |
