Sherry the Showgirl #3

This December 1956 Atlas/Marvel comedy comic puts the spotlight on Sherry, a beaming blonde showgirl in a sequined costume, feathered headdress, fishnet stockings, and long black gloves who strolls past a restaurant table — apparently having just plopped mustard onto a diner's ice cream sundae, much to the bewildered reactions of the three patrons seated there. Dan DeCarlo's cover art delivers that breezy, good-natured humor the series is built around, with Sherry's cheerful obliviousness making the joke land perfectly. At just a dime, this is a charming slice of mid-1950s comedic comics from a creative team that includes writer Stan Lee and letterer Joe Letterese.
