Norma Sykes

Debuting in the very first issue of IPC's beloved girls' anthology Misty in 1978, Norma Sykes is a Bronze Age character born at the heart of one of British comics' most atmospheric and cherished titles. Created by Bill Harrington and Homero, she keeps intriguing company alongside the likes of Dawn, Rosemary Black, and Nicola Scott across Misty's pages. That the series has continued to see print into 2016 speaks to the enduring affection fans hold for everything that launched within that landmark first issue — and Norma Sykes is a genuine piece of that founding legacy worth seeking out for any serious collector of British comics history.
