Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo with inks by Rudy Lapick and letters by Marty Epp, this 1963 adventure blends teen drama and playful suspense. The cover by Samm Schwartz captures the mood with a striking, eye-catching image.
In "Finders Weepers," Reggie stumbles upon a gold watch and faces a moral crossroads when his friends challenge him to do the right thing—advertising its return. He agrees, but with a twist: he places the ad in a newspaper without naming which one, leaving the rightful owner to guess where to look.
In "A Real Drag," Jo, Pepper, and Melody find themselves caught in a whirlwind of teenage drama when Alex Cabot invites Melody to his mansion, sparking fears that she might be swayed by his charm. As the girls try to shield their friend from what they see as Alex’s slick advances, he counters with a flashy escape plan—his private submarine—pulling Melody into a high-seas adventure neither the girls nor the reader saw coming.
