Patsy and Hedy #49

This January 1957 Atlas Comics charmer catches Buzz Baxter in a delightfully awkward spot — cozy on the sofa with a smiling redhead, he quips "I didn't lie, did I, Patsy Baby?" while a wide-eyed dark-haired woman looks on in disbelief from the doorway, having called him out on claiming he'd be babysitting that night. Al Hartley's cover art delivers that perfect blend of mid-century romantic comedy and soap-opera mischief that made teen humor titles so irresistible in 1957. At just a dime, Patsy and Hedy #49 promises the kind of breezy, knowing fun that kept readers coming back issue after issue.
