Misty was a British comic for girls published by Fleetway in London from 4th Feb 1978 until 1984, after merging with Tammy on 19 January 1980. While there were similarities with its Fleetway stablemates Tammy and Jinty, each comic had its own focus, with Misty concentrating on supernatural and horror stories. The title was created mainly by Pat Mills, on a hot streak following Battle, Action and 2000 AD and continued the ethos of those titles, with a focus on modern, creepier, gorier horror than earlier horror comics.The title was reused by Rebellion for the 2017 Halloween Special comic Scream! & Misty (Scream! having been Fleetway's horror comic for boys). Not to be confused with the 1985 Star Comics miniseries about Millie the Model's neice, Misty Collins.

Twist Ending: The ending of Mr. Walenski's Secret - there's nothing supernatural about Mr Walenski's behaviour; he's a concentration camp survivor, the box he always carries with him contains his memories of his family, and the man he's regularly seen in the company of is a private detective hired to trace Mr Walenski's only surviving child.

Reincarnation Romance: Subverted in "Day of the Dragon", where a girl learns that in a previous life she committed suicide to escape a forced marriage; her husband-to-be, an evil sorcerer, has also reincarnated and is keen to pick up where they left off. The girl is considerably less excited at the prospect.

Three Wishes: The heroine of "The Evil Djinn" receives these after saving a Jackass Genie from choking to death. The first two wishes (for legally gained wealth, and for the heroine's sister to be alive again) have negative consequences, so in an act of Laser-Guided Karma she uses the last wish to wish that she had never met the genie, and the genie dies.
