Patsy and Hedy #14

Patsy and Hedy are front and center in this cheerful April 1953 Atlas Comics entry, leaping mid-air in their cheerleading uniforms as a packed gymnasium crowd looks on and two basketball players battle for a shot at the hoop behind them. The cover's playful exchange — "Who do you hope wins?" / "Who's playing?" — captures the breezy, boy-crazy humor that made this series such a fun read. Al Jaffee's lively cover artwork brings real energy and charm to the scene, making this an appealing snapshot of early-'50s teen comedy comics at their most spirited.
