Patsy Walker #26

A library setting has never looked so lively — Patsy Walker, red-haired and smiling with pencil in hand, holds court in a "Library Silence Please" zone while two eager young men compete for her attention behind her, with a fourth figure lurking among the bookshelves in the background. This 52-page January 1950 issue, with cover art by Louise Altson, promises the story "Two Dates Are Better Than One!" alongside other Patsy Walker romances. Al Jaffee handles the writing and interior art, making this a thoroughly charming snapshot of mid-century teen romance comics at their most winning.
