Josie and the Pussycats #47

Apr 1970 · Archie · 0.15 USD
“Bad Spelling”

In "Bad Spelling," Josie and the Pussycats hit a quirky note when Alex tries to impress Josie by driving around with an inflatable girl—only for Alexandra to step in with a spell that brings the dummy to life. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to vivid life by Dan DeCarlo’s art, with Rudy Lapick’s inks and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, this 1970 issue captures the series’ signature charm. The cover, also by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the zany energy of the moment.
