Candy #30

Quality Comics' Candy — "America's Favorite Teen-Age Girl" — brings the summer fun in this September 1952 issue, with a breezy beach scene that captures her charm perfectly. On the cover, Candy sits on a striped beach blanket in her swimsuit, visibly annoyed as a smirking young man lounges beside her under a colorful umbrella, apparently too busy being self-satisfied to pay her any attention — while a concerned Ted rushes over with a pair of melting ice cream cones to check on her. It's a warm, witty snapshot of teen social comedy that made this Quality Comics series a delight throughout the early 1950s.
