Patsy Walker #19

Patsy Walker #19 from November 1948 delivers a wonderfully absurd beach-day scene, with Patsy lounging in her red swimsuit next to Buzz — who is inexplicably wearing a full metal helmet instead of sunglasses, much to his own vocal frustration. Al Jaffee's cover art captures the humor perfectly, populating the sunny shoreline with other beachgoers while Patsy cheerfully defends her unusual eyewear solution for Buzz. It's a charming snapshot of the lighthearted teen comedy that made this Timely Comics series such a delight in the late 1940s.
