Candy #28

Quality Comics' teen humor title delivers a genuinely funny cover gag for issue #28: Candy leans over the hood of a maroon hot rod, cheerfully pouring a can of noodle soup onto the engine while cans of pea, beef, and chicken soup line the fender — all because Ted told her hot rods had to be "souped-up!" Ted himself recoils in the background, hands clapped to his head in dismay. It's a perfectly timed bit of wordplay comedy that captures exactly the breezy, lighthearted spirit that made "America's Favorite Teen-Age Girl" such a fun read in 1952.
