Patsy Walker #18

Patsy Walker #18 brings the charm and humor of Marvel's beloved teen romance series to a delightful park-bench scene, with cover art by Al Jaffee (inked by Christopher Rule) capturing Patsy swept up in a romantic embrace while a blonde friend looks on through a camera, cheekily calling out that this is their 100th photo together and suggesting they try a new pose. The floating hearts and the photographer's exasperated grin give the whole cover an endearing, light-hearted energy that's very much in the spirit of 1948 teen comedy. If you enjoy breezy stories of youthful romance and friendly mischief, this issue — also featuring the story "You Can't Stop Pop!" — looks like a genuinely fun read.
