Sugar & Spike #39

This Valentine's Day-themed March 1962 issue finds Sugar standing alone in what looks like a soda shop, calling out for her missing pal Spike while a bewildered counterman leans over the counter searching as well. Dominating the scene is a colorful Valentine Candy display box featuring a chubby blue-haired Cupid with wings and bow — and somewhere in the chaos, Spike has apparently vanished, setting up the kind of irresistible baby-logic mischief that made Sheldon Mayer's Sugar and Spike so endearing. Bonus fun awaits inside with cut-out Valentine cards, making this a genuinely charming little time capsule of early-'60s DC humor.
