Patsy and Her Pals #26

Patsy Walker's social life is in full swing on Al Hartley's charming cover for this 1957 Marvel romance-comedy title. On one side, a dashing young man escorts a stylish brunette while boasting about what's on his arm — while across the panel, two girlfriends at a soda-fountain table tease right back that they'd happily trade places with Patsy. Light, witty, and packed with that irresistible mid-century teen energy, issue #26 is a delightful snapshot of the friendly rivalries and romantic banter that made Patsy and Her Pals such a fun read.
