Freddy #4

A charming slice of late-1950s teen comedy, this Charlton release drops Freddy right into a barbershop sidewalk scene where a smitten blonde girl thinks "Whatta Man!" as a barber examines a fellow's face with a magnifying glass — a perfectly timed gag full of heart-dotted daydreaming. Jon D'Agostino handles both pencils and inks on the cover, delivering lively, expressive characters that feel right at home alongside the Blue Bird Comics medallions along the bottom showcasing Black Fury, Wild Bill Hickok, Timmy the Timid Ghost, Li'l Genius, and Masked Raider. At just ten cents, Freddy #4 is a warm, lighthearted gem from 1959 that captures the breezy charm of Charlton's humor line at its most fun.
