A Date with Judy #69

A delightful snapshot of teen-comedy drama from DC's 1959 lineup, this issue of A Date with Judy sets up the conflict right on the cover: Judy strikes a graceful figure-skating pose beside an Ice Show poster advertising a skater named Mavis, while a smitten red-headed boy looks on admiringly — only to be shut down by a very determined blonde girl who makes it crystal clear they are absolutely not going. Graham Place's clean, expressive linework captures the breezy jealousy and sharp wit that made this series such a charming read. With a story titled "Social Life Insurance," issue #69 promises the kind of romantic mix-ups and quick-witted comebacks that kept fans coming back every month.
