Patsy and Hedy #26

This 1954 Atlas Comics gem features Patsy Walker front and center on the cover, her red hair and sharp black outfit cutting a striking figure against a city street backdrop. Behind her, a couple passes a theater marquee reading "Now Playing: Patsy," while the gentleman delivers the delightfully catty remark, "Golly, Hedy, I never thought 'Patsy' could be such an awful bore!" Al Jaffee — years before his Mad Magazine fame — handles both the writing and art here, bringing a breezy, comedic energy to this charming slice of mid-century teen romance comics.
