Four Color #1307

This 1962 Dell tie-in to the Twentieth Century Fox Television series captures Margie mid-moment — wide-eyed and clutching an old-fashioned candlestick telephone, her red braids and bold bow tie giving her an instantly charming, retro-teen appeal, with a lacy heart framing the scene behind her. The cover tagline promises that Margie "plays hard-to-get and ends up with a dream date," setting a light, playful romantic tone that suits the era perfectly. Whether you're a fan of early-'60s TV adaptations or just appreciate Dell's knack for bringing small-screen personalities to the page, this issue — featuring the story "Mr. Clayton's Talking Box" — is a cheerful snapshot of the period.
