Barbie #13

Marvel's Barbie #13 from January 1992 brings a delightful retro-diner charm to the series, with cover art by Amanda Conner and John Lucas showing Barbie perched confidently on a counter stool at "Bopper's Diner," sipping a pink ice cream treat while a smitten soda jerk looks on from behind the counter. The checkered tiles, old-fashioned menu signs, and roller-skate shoes give the whole scene a cheerful, nostalgic energy that suits the title "Barbie and the Wannabes" perfectly. With interior work from writer Trina Robbins and artist Mary Wilshire, this issue continues Marvel's charming run of stylish, feel-good Barbie comics.
