Josie #26

In "The Minstrel Mechanic," Melody lands a job selling nylons at a department store, where her presence stirs up unexpected reactions—so much so that the female customers, overwhelmed by the situation, storm the manager’s office in protest. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm—penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Vincent DeCarlo—this 1967 issue captures a delightfully awkward moment in the lives of Josie and the Pussycats, all rendered in the timeless style of the era’s classic Archie comics.
