Date with Debbi #9

A charming slice of late-'60s DC romance comics energy, this June 1970 issue finds the red-haired, red-suited Debbi happily chatting on the phone — consulting what appears to be an alphabetical card file as she cheerfully rattles off a description of someone named Danny. Meanwhile, a stylishly dressed young man eavesdrops from the doorway, clearly realizing she has no idea who she's actually talking to. Henry Scarpelli's cover art captures the light, breezy humor that made Date with Debbi such a fun alternative to the superhero fare of the era, with bright colors and snappy body language that sell the comedic awkwardness perfectly.
