Leave It to Binky #40

DC's teen humor series delivers a charming summer snapshot in this 1954 issue, with cover art by Bob Oksner showing Binky so smitten by blonde Peggy that he can barely hold his fishing rod — their flirty waterside exchange ("Golly, Peggy, I'm so busy looking at your beautiful blue eyes, I can't even throw a line!") perfectly captures the series' breezy, good-natured comedy. Inside, Owen Fitzgerald handles the art on "Fancy-Free Wheeling!," keeping the lighthearted teen antics rolling. At a dime a copy, Leave It to Binky #40 is a warm slice of 1950s comic book charm.
