Catalogue information
South African edition of Tina weekly in Afrikaans. The covers of this first volume are the same as the Dutch Tina numbers 1970-37 to 1971-36. However, there is no date in it. The magazine is probably based on the Dutch edition and appeared a few weeks later than the Dutch version, which appears to have been largely followed: the stories are in fact colored, in contrast to the original English stories from 'Princess Tina' in particular, which are usually black. were white. Some stories come from the English magazines June or Sally. One story is originally Dutch. All stories were also in the Dutch version of Tina. The mention of the publisher states that the magazine will be published "in collaboration with those printers, N.V. De Spaarnestad, Haarlem", which is the Dutch publisher of weekly Tina at that time. It is very curious that in this first issue of the first volume (Part 1) the stories begin in the middle. For example, readers in South Africa are just getting the last three episodes of the originally Dutch story 'Jola and the space race'. Perhaps some of the stories have been published in Vonk magazine before? The coupon to become a subscriber says: 'Just signed it on Vonk and now wants Tina in that place, huh'. A single issue cost 10c, an annual subscription R 3.50, a half-year subscription R 1.75 and a subscription abroad R 5.00 or R 2.50 respectively for a full or half year.
