Junior Miss #25

A sunny outdoor picnic sets the scene for Junior Miss #25, as a red-haired young woman in a bold checkered top and her grinning date in a yellow vest settle onto a blanket spread with food — a roast chicken and all the trimmings suggesting a proper afternoon spread. This 1947 Marvel teen humor title promises a cheerful mix of comics, stories, features, teen-types, screen stars, and articles, making it a well-rounded slice of postwar youth culture. With a story titled "Hats Drive Him Bats!" tucked inside, the lighthearted energy on the cover feels just right.
