Pep #198

From Archie Comics' long-running anthology series comes this October 1966 issue of Pep, featuring a giant red-suited superhero — the "G"-emblazoned Giant-Man — towering over a city skyline while tiny figures cling to his outstretched arm. The cover's speech bubbles pose a wonderfully deadpan question about the toughest problem of a super-powered career: finding a tailor for those costumes. Up top, a familiar cluster of Riverdale teens peers down at the spectacle, giving the whole scene that irresistible mix of superhero spectacle and Archie humor that made Pep such a fun read in 1966.
