Candy #6

Quality Comics' teen humor series delivers a perfectly timed summer gag on this October 1948 cover by Harry Sahle: a stylish Candy in her blue dress looks mortified as her date arrives fully bundled in a fur parka and mukluks, cheerfully quipping that the Palace Theater's "20 degrees cooler inside" promise is no exaggeration. Sahle's clean, expressive linework captures the comedy in every detail — from Candy's wide-eyed double-take to the theater's sandwich board sign standing nearby as Exhibit A. Fifty-two pages of lighthearted fun await inside this charming slice of postwar teen comedy.
