Patsy Walker #48

High school drama has never been this entertaining — Al Jaffee's cover for Patsy Walker #48 sets the stage perfectly, with a gleefully scheming dark-haired girl clutching a script for "All Is Love, Act I" and gloating that she's landed the romantic lead opposite Buzz. Behind her, a red-haired girl in a red dress is already very much kissing that same Buzz beneath a tree, prompting a dry "Yeah… burning!" that says everything about teenage rivalry. Co-starring Hedy Wolfe alongside Patsy, this 1953 ten-cent package delivers 52 big pages of the kind of breezy, sharp-edged comedy that made this series so appealing.
