Buzzy #17

Winter teen hijinks take center stage on this January–February 1948 DC release, as Buzzy and a group of friends go careening across a frozen pond while a blonde girl shouts "Jump, Buzzy! Jump!!" — a "DANGER" sign looming ominously over a crack in the ice ahead. George Storm's lively cover art captures the breathless, slapstick energy of mid-century teen comedy perfectly, with flailing skaters, flying hats, and pure frozen chaos. At just ten cents for 52 pages, this issue is a cheerful snapshot of postwar youth comics at their most entertaining.
