Freddy #38

This February 1963 Charlton gem captures the charm of the hot rod teen comedy genre perfectly — Freddy kneels beside his yellow car (boldly tagged "Prom or Bust") announcing to the stylish, green-dressed Peggy that the tire is fixed and they're ready to roll, while a full moon lights up the suburban street behind them. Jon D'Agostino's cover art gives Peggy a wonderfully unimpressed pose, hands on hips, as Freddy's eager enthusiasm bounces off her cool composure. For fans of lighthearted early-'60s teen humor in the spirit of sock hops and chrome bumpers, this one's a genuine treat at a cover price of just twelve cents.
