Candy #25

Quality Comics' teen humor title gets a delightful sci-fi twist in this December 1951 issue, as Candy strolls outside Hartwick High accompanied by a boxy, grinning robot — much to the exasperation of a young man who points a scolding finger and declares, "Candy, this is carrying your science course too far!" The cover perfectly captures the lighthearted comedy the series was known for, with Candy looking cheerfully unruffled while her mechanical companion clutches a book like any other student. For fans of postwar teen comics with a dash of atomic-age imagination, this one has real charm.
