Binky #77

A rainy-day rescue takes center stage on Henry Scarpelli's cover for this 1971 DC teen humor title, as Binky heroically hoists a blonde girl over his head to keep her brand-new jacket dry — while a worried friend looks on from the shelter of a storefront awning. The speech bubble perfectly captures that sweet, silly teenage-panic energy the series does so well. Packed with 64 all-new pages and a special "Secret Side of Bobby Sherman" feature, issue #77 is a charming snapshot of early-'70s teen comics at their most lighthearted.
