My Girl Pearl #1

Pearl is already living up to her "America's Darling Dim-Wit" billing on Dan DeCarlo's charming cover, where she lounges cheerfully on the hood of a car directly beneath a "No Parking P.D." sign, breezily assuring her exasperated companion that she missed it "by a mile!" This 1955 Atlas humor comic, written by Stan Lee with art and inks by DeCarlo, introduces Pearl Dimly — billed right on the cover as "the only one of her kind in captivity" — with exactly the kind of breezy, good-natured comedy the series promises. If you enjoy lighthearted teen humor with snappy visual gags, Pearl's cheerful obliviousness makes for an irresistible read.
