Katy Keene Pin-up Parade #9

This cheerful Winter 1959 Giant Series issue puts Katy Keene front and center in a large pink ornament, glamorously dressed with a fur stole and sparkling jewelry, while a festive yellow background surrounds her with Christmas ornaments and star-shaped frames featuring a whole cast of familiar faces — redheads, blondes, a bespectacled fellow, a cowboy, and more. Bill Woggon's cover design radiates holiday warmth, promising "all new stories" with all these characters inside. At a quarter a copy, this oversized Pin-up Parade was a genuinely good deal for fans who loved Katy and her crowd.
