Katy Keene Comics #17

This July 1954 Archie Series entry finds "America's Pin-Up Queen" Katy Keene in a charming outdoor scene — seated cozily with a dark-haired beau by a tree-lined pond, while a lovesick, ukulele-strumming chubby admirer serenades from the bank and a cool blond fellow watches from his perch nearby, all amid swans, rabbits, and a reflection of Katy in the water below. The playful speech bubbles make the romantic comedy rivalry instantly clear, capturing the breezy, good-natured humor that made Katy such a beloved figure of the era. Bill Woggon's cover art is full of personality and warmth, and with "All New Stories" promised inside — including "Puppy Tale" — this issue delivers exactly the kind of light, stylish fun that kept readers coming back.
