In "Royal Flush," Sock wrestles with his feelings for Pepper, caught between self-doubt and the pressure to impress her. With the girls urging him to be true to himself and Albert pushing him toward romance and poetry, Sock faces a moment of personal choice—just as the story takes its first, heartfelt turn. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, inks by Rudy Lapick, and lettering by Bill Yoshida, this 1967 issue features a cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick.

In "Marooned," Josie, Melody, and Pepper set off on a boating trip that takes a turn when fog rolls in and strands them on a mysterious island. With no way to call for help, they stumble upon a lone man living in isolation—and decide to help him, even as they wonder how they’ll ever get home.

When the pranks and passive-aggressive jabs cross the line, Josie finally snaps with a move that’s equal parts surprise and justified sass.
