Jinty was a weekly comic for girls published by IPC from 1974 to 1981. Although it also featured soapy stories, the focus of the comic was on genre strips.
Whereas stablemate Misty told spooky sagas of the supernatural, Jinty took flight into science fiction.
It absorbed Lindy in November 1975 and Penny in April 1980. Jinty then merged with Tammy in 1981.
