Katy Keene Comics #34

A sunny 1957 outing from Archie's "Queen of Pin-Ups and Fashions," this issue finds Katy Keene and K.O. relaxing together beneath a heart-carved tree — a picnic basket nearby, a curious rabbit watching from the grass — while a youngster rushes in with a baseball and bat, clearly determined to interrupt the moment. Bill Woggon's cover art captures that warm, breezy charm the series does so well, with a light comedic touch that carries right through to the interior story, "Switching Hats." At a dime a copy, this was exactly the kind of cheerful, fashionable fun that made Katy Keene a favorite throughout the decade.
