Candy #62

This April 1956 issue of Candy — America's Favorite Teen-Age Girl captures the lighthearted charm that made Quality Comics' teen humor line so appealing. The cover finds Candy and her friend Trish strolling past the zoo cages — a wolf on one side, a black bear on the other — so absorbed in gossip about "that new boy in class" that they're completely oblivious to the animals beside them. It's a perfectly breezy snapshot of mid-1950s teen life, and with the story "Aching Back to Nature" waiting inside, this issue promises the kind of warm, witty fun that kept readers coming back issue after issue.
