Patsy and Hedy #42

A snowy ski slope sets the scene for romantic rivalry in this 1956 Marvel charmer, as red-haired Patsy and a young man share a cozy moment on the slopes — while dark-haired Hedy looks on from the foreground with a knowing smirk, her thought bubble revealing she'd hoped a broken ski would ruin the date. Al Jaffee brings sharp, lively linework to the cover, capturing the playful tension between these two very different young women competing for the same fellow. With "All Brand-New Stories" promised inside, Patsy and Hedy #42 is a delightful slice of 1956 teen romance comics at their most fun.
