Candy #50

Quality Comics' long-running teen humor series delivers a perfectly timed moment of romantic mischief in this September 1954 issue. The cover says it all: Candy has just slammed the door on a sheepish Ted Dawson, who walks away sporting a telltale lipstick mark on his cheek and stars spinning around his head — clearly he arrived a little too early to that introduction. It's the kind of breezy, relatable comedy that made "America's Favorite Teen-Age Girl" such a delight throughout the early 1950s.
