A Date with Judy #73

A sunny beach outing turns into a gentle standoff on the cover of this 1959 DC charmer, as Oogie coaxes a hesitant Judy — in her eye-catching yellow swimsuit — toward the water while she insists it looks "menacing." A third girl in a blue suit wades in the shallows nearby, blissfully unbothered, and a fourth in pink lingers at the water's edge, lending the scene a breezy, summery ensemble feel. At just ten cents, A Date with Judy #73 captures everything delightful about DC's mid-century teen humor line — light, fun, and full of beachside personality.
