Sugar & Spike #61

This charming 1965 DC Halloween special finds Sugar and Spike dressed as black cats for trick-or-treat, only to encounter a real black cat who seems to be imitating their costumes — a delightful gag that Sheldon Mayer renders with his signature warmth across the cover's split scene. The right half shows the tots approaching a police officer, with jack-o'-lanterns and scattered candy adding to the festive atmosphere. Packed with seasonal fun, the issue also promises a new Uncle Charley story, paper doll costumes with masks to match, and a reader contest — making it a wonderfully complete little package of autumnal charm.
