Candy #55

Candy #55 from Quality Comics delivers the kind of sharp, breezy humor that made "America's Favorite Teen-Age Girl" a fixture of 1955 teen comics. The cover says it all: Candy, glasses on and hands on hips in a bright yellow sweater, fires a perfectly timed zinger at the dark-haired girl beside her — "Yeah… who's going to hire anyone as a television watcher?" — while a sheepish Ted lounges on the sofa next to a television set, clearly caught in the act. It's a charming snapshot of mid-50s suburban teen life, with the kind of snappy wit that kept readers coming back issue after issue.
