☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "That Magic Melody," Josie navigates a series of awkward encounters with men who seem only interested in using her, leading her to reconsider her judgment when Alan M. shows up—quietly kind, but so reserved she wonders if he's even interested at all. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Stan Goldberg’s expressive art and Jon D’Agostino’s crisp inks, this 1972 issue captures a sweet, subtle moment of teenage uncertainty, with Barry Grossman’s colors and Bill Yoshida’s lettering adding warmth to the mood. The cover by Goldberg and D’Agostino perfectly captures Josie’s thoughtful expression as she weighs her next move.
In "That Magic Melody," Jo and the Pussycats find themselves in a wild twist when Melody, after a dramatic van plunge, is taken in by a tribe who believe she's a goddess—her golden hair and charm winning them over. As the others are captured and threatened, Melody’s newfound fame begins to cloud her judgment, and she’s forced to confront how far her pride will take her before she can save her friends.
In "Safe, But Sorry," Josie navigates a series of awkward encounters with men who all seem eager to take advantage of her, leading her to reconsider her options. She finds herself drawn to Alan M., whose gentlemanly demeanor seems like a relief—until she realizes his kindness might be taken a little too far.
In "The Magic Box," Jo and the Pussycats stumble into a quirky twist when Alex announces his ambition to write the Great American Novel—only for Melody to hand him a mysterious box said to contain every word he’ll ever write. With a wink and a grin, she sets off a chain of laughs and lighthearted chaos as the group wonders what kind of story could possibly fit inside a single box.
