Binky's Buddies #5

DC's teen humor series serves up pure late-sixties charm in this fifth issue, with a cover by Henry Scarpelli that captures the era perfectly. A stylishly dressed blonde girl in wild patterned bell-bottoms looks on with exasperation as a group of guys crowds around a sleek red sports car, one of them gushing, "WOW! What a neat job! Hot ignition… twin carburetors, high compression heap!" It's a breezy, relatable snapshot of teen priorities — boys obsessing over cars while the girls roll their eyes — and with a story titled "Surfs You Right!" inside, this 1969 issue promises lighthearted fun from start to finish.
