Josie and the Pussycats #85
In "Builders Special," Josie and the Pussycats hit the beach where Alan M. and Alex clash over sand castles—until Alan surprisingly shifts gears, building sand ghettos and middle-income housing instead. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, Rudy Lapick’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s letters, this 1975 issue captures a quirky moment of social commentary with a touch of humor. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Jon D'Agostino perfectly frames the scene’s playful tension.
