Freddy #11

Sponsored by Kirby's Shoes, this Blue Bird Comics edition of Freddy #11 opens with our hero casting a fishing line from a small boat while his companion Peggy looks on with growing unease — his speech bubble wondering aloud why the warden warned them away from this particular lake. Jon D'Agostino's cover art keeps things breezy and fun, with dramatic rocky cliffs looming in the background hinting that the answer may not be far off. Rounding out the cover are circular vignettes spotlighting a fine lineup of Charlton characters: Black Fury, Wyatt Earp, Timmy the Timid Ghost, Li'l Genius, and Atomic Mouse — making this a genuinely charming ten-cent package of 1961 all-ages entertainment.
