First Appearance: Mandy #347 (D.C.Thomson, September 8th 1973)

Comments: Jackie Flash is a reworking of Jack Flash, who originally appeared in the Beano. However, other than the name and basic abilities, she is a distinct character in her own right. Her strip (or the first installment of same, on the off chance it reappeared later) lasted from Mandy #347, cover dated 8th September 1973, to Mandy #360, cover dated 8th December 1973, skipping issue #355.
CLARIFICATIONS: Not to be confused with
Jack Flash, her male predecessor
