Personally, I would add a fourth: the regular. <br /><br />Slaves of War Orphan Farm was the first in Tammy's long list of slave stories. Others that followed included The Four Friends at Spartan School, Waifs of the Wigmaker, Slaves of the Hot Stove, The Camp on Candy Island and Serfs of the Swamp. Pat says that the slave story was what they fell back on to pep up a girls' comic because it was always guaranteed to be a sure-fire winner. <br /><br />By the late 1970s the slave and Cinderella stories had faded from Tammy, but were still going strong in the DCT titles.
