Date with Debbi #15

This June 1971 DC teen comedy delivers a full 64 pages of Debbi's hijinks for just a quarter. The cover — penciled by Stan Goldberg and inked by Henry Scarpelli — sets the playful tone perfectly: a flustered principal is being physically dragged out of a classroom doorway by an enthusiastic redheaded student, while onlooking girls gossip about Debbi being transferred out of an all-boy class, and a crowd of wide-eyed boys peers through the doorway behind him. With a bonus teaser asking how much of Marlo Thomas is really "That Girl," this issue has the breezy, fun energy that made DC's romance-and-laughs titles such a treat in the early seventies.
