Frank Merriwell at Yale #2

From Charlton Comics in 1955, this second issue of Frank Merriwell at Yale showcases Dick Giordano's clean, energetic linework on a cover that captures Frank mid-hurdle, his Yale-lettered singlet and outstretched arms conveying pure athletic momentum against a bright yellow sky. Background runners tackle the hurdles behind him while a close-up portrait of Frank anchors the lower left — the full scene perfectly sets the stage for "The Big Meet" inside. Joe Gill's scripting and Dick Giordano's art make this a fine example of mid-'50s all-American sports comics at their most spirited.
