Katy Keene Comics #42

Poolside comedy takes center stage on Bill Woggon's cover for this 1958 Archie Series issue, where a glamorous dark-haired Katy lounges poolside in a red swimsuit while her friend Gloria clings to a muscular fellow named K.O. Kelly — only to be cheerfully informed she can touch bottom right there. The sunny scene, complete with palm trees, depth markers, and a crowd of swimmers in the background, perfectly captures the breezy, good-natured humor that made Katy Keene such a delight. Inside, the cover promises "Battle of the Sexes," a Bertha Bumbles story, new fashions, pin-ups, cut-outs, and fan club news — plenty of fun packed into a single dime.
