Josie and the Pussycats #57

In "The Hostess with the Mostess," Alexandra takes a personal offense when the Pussycats choose to perform at a public clambake instead of her private beach, setting off a playful feud that turns unexpectedly sticky when rain cancels the event. With a mix of teenage charm and mischievous flair, she invites the group to the Cabots' secluded island, only to find her plan might backfire when the tide—both literally and figuratively—turns. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style and Rudy Lapick’s dynamic inks, this 1971 classic captures the band’s spirited antics in a story that’s equal parts summer fun and social sparring, all wrapped in Barry Grossman’s vibrant colors and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the island’s allure and the Pussycats’ wide-eyed surprise.
