In "Opening Night," Alex’s attempt to win Josie’s attention by temporarily sidelining Albert backfires when Albert turns the tables with a clever prank involving Alexandra.

A classic blend of teenage mischief and heartfelt missteps, this 1983 gem features Dan DeCarlo’s signature art and storytelling, with inks by Rudy Lapick and letters by Vincent DeCarlo, all under Frank Doyle’s sharp writing. The cover, also by Dan DeCarlo, captures the story’s playful tension in full color.
