Freddy #16

A cheerful winter scene sets the tone for this March 1959 Charlton gem, with Freddy — sporting his varsity "F" sweater — ice-skating arm-in-arm with a beaming blonde girl, hearts floating in the air around them, while a mischievous redheaded kid crouches nearby with a mug, clearly up to something. Jon D'Agostino's clean, expressive linework captures all the warmth of teenage comedy even on an ice rink, and a banner of familiar faces along the top promises a full cast of fun. The bold "Win 8000 Prizes" starburst on the cover made this issue especially exciting for readers picking it up off the newsstand for just a dime.
