Barbie Fashion #25

Barbie Fashion hits its 25th issue in style, and the cover — penciled by Amanda Conner and inked by Jeff Albrecht — captures the milestone with Barbie leaping joyfully against a hot-pink background, draped in pearl necklaces and wearing a bold paisley mini-dress with turquoise boots to match. The oversized "25" behind her and the confetti-dot backdrop make this feel like a genuine celebration, and the cover itself invites you to do exactly what it says: celebrate 25 fashion-filled issues. Inside, writer Barbara Slate and artist Mary Wilshire bring you "Secret Admirer," promising the kind of fun, colorful storytelling that made this Marvel series a staple of early '90s comics shelves.
