Sandie was a British girls' comic, published by Fleetway, which lasted for 89 weekly issues between 12 February 1972 and 20 October 1973 before being merged into Tammy. The editor of Sandie was John Wagner.[1]

Like many comics of its kind, the strips in Sandie focused on school, ballet, dogs and horses, and girl-next-door themes. Stories of girls confronting adversity predominated, with long-suffering heroines finally achieving happiness, while villainous relatives or girls who were liars, cheats, and bullies received their comeuppance.

The strips Wee Sue and Jeannie and Her Uncle "Meanie" moved to Tammy with the merger of the two titles.
