Patsy Walker #4

Patsy Walker's humor and charm are on full display in this April 1946 issue, with cover art penciled by Christopher Rule and inked by George Klein. The cover scene captures a delightful moment in what appears to be a perfume shop — a red-haired saleswoman clasps her hand to her cheek as a stout, elegantly dressed older woman in a green coat sprays a tester bottle, her thought bubble reading "HMMMM-- DEE-VINE--" while she holds up another bottle for inspection. It's a wonderfully relatable slice of mid-1940s retail comedy that showcases exactly the kind of warm, lighthearted storytelling that made Patsy Walker a staple of the era.
