Patsy and Her Pals #22

A night out at the magic show turns into a romantic tug-of-war on this charming 1956 Atlas cover by Morris Weiss. A dapper young man holding a bag of popcorn finds himself caught between a redhead and a dark-haired girl outside the "Presto the Magician" theater, with the redhead delivering the perfectly timed zinger — "Disappear!" — in response to his flirtatious chatter. It's the kind of breezy, witty teen comedy that made Patsy and Her Pals such a delight, and with "All New Stories" promised inside, issue #22 delivers plenty of that warm, good-humored fun.
