“Medal for a Dinosaur!”

In "Medal for a Dinosaur!", a 1964 DC classic, Paulette Breen—recent winner of the Palisades Amusement Park's Miss American Teenager contest—delivers a surprisingly sharp message to Bob and his friends: girls don’t like guys who smoke. Written by Jack Schiff and brought to life with expressive art by Sheldon Moldoff, this issue captures a moment of youthful awkwardness with a touch of wartime-era charm. The cover, by Joe Kubert, perfectly frames the story’s blend of humor and coming-of-age tension.
