Candy #53

Quality Comics' teen humor series puts Candy front and center in a delightfully charged living-room moment — perched on a floral sofa, she fixes a wide-eyed Ted with a pointed look and the cover's irresistible question: "It's a proposal, Ted! What's your bid, before I make up my mind?" Ted's stunned expression and the telephone in Candy's hand suggest the competition for her affections is very much still open. This 1955 issue is a charming snapshot of mid-decade teen comedy at its most playful.
