Josie #42

In "Minstrel Man," Alexandra takes a sudden interest in Alan M. and offers to sponsor his band, setting off a chain of unlikely connections. She meets Gloomer, the band’s drummer whose gloom is so deep it borders on despair, and Instant Replay, the one bright soul who can make sense of his cryptic mutterings—making this a story of music, melancholy, and unexpected hope. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s expressive art, Rudy Lapick’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, this 1969 issue features a cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick.
