Patsy and Hedy #67

The cover of this December 1959 issue sets up a perfectly timed comic situation: red-haired Patsy and dark-haired Hedy have each independently shown up at a lecture hall — each with a date in tow — having each assumed it was the one place she wouldn't run into the other. Their matching speech bubbles and wide-eyed expressions, surrounded by a crowd of equally surprised onlookers, capture the breezy romantic-comedy charm that made this series such a delight. Al Hartley's clean, expressive linework brings real personality to both girls and their hapless escorts, making this a warmly fun slice of 1959 Marvel romance comics.
