Kathy #16

Set in a classic soda-shop scene, this cover for Kathy #16 (1962) captures the "Teen-Age Tornado" in full dramatic form — Kathy sits at the counter with a girlfriend, both visibly irritated as a glamorous blonde newcomer named Tulip makes her entrance and draws admiring glances from nearby boys. Stan Goldberg's cheerful linework nails the era's teen-comedy energy, with speech bubbles flying and milkshakes on the counter keeping things delightfully grounded. The cover promises a "fun-filled romantic" story with the return of Tulip Tender, making this a charming slice of early-'60s Marvel romance comics.
