Josie and the Pussycats #84
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Love Bug," Alexandra's crush on Alan M. reaches dizzying heights—so intense that just hearing his name sends her into a whirlwind of emotion. Josie, moved by pity, urges Alan to give Alexandra some attention, but her hopes quickly spiral when even a kind word from him only deepens her fears of rejection. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature flair—inked by Rudy Lapick, colored by Barry Grossman, and lettered by Bill Yoshida—this 1975 gem captures teenage longing with a mix of humor and heart. The cover, by Stan Goldberg and Jon D'Agostino, perfectly captures the melodrama in motion.
In "Love Bug," Alexandra’s crush on Alan M. reaches absurd heights—her heart races at the sound of his name, and even Josie can’t help but feel sorry for her. When Josie finally convinces Alan to be kind, Alexandra spirals, convinced his kindness means he doesn’t truly care.
