Patsy and Hedy #7

This September 1952 Atlas Comics charmer captures Patsy Walker and Hedy Wolfe at their most relatable — seated in a crowded movie theater watching "Bride of the Vampire," their two terrified dates clinging to each other while the girls shoot withering glares and swap exasperated quips ("This is the last time we'll ever double-date!" / "You can say that again!"). The cover by Chris Rule perfectly balances comedy and mid-century romance-comic flair, with Patsy in sunny yellow and Hedy in striking pink stealing every bit of the spotlight from their thoroughly unimpressive escorts. Al Jaffee handles the interior work, promising the same sharp wit that makes this title such a delight for fans of the era's teen comedy comics.
