Swing with Scooter #24

DC's teen humor series delivers a Halloween-themed treat with Swing with Scooter #24, cover-dated January 1970. Henry Scarpelli's cover art sets up a delightfully goofy scene: a girl clinging to a boy on a couch in mock-terror as a Frankenstein's monster figure in a red jacket looms toward them, while a second monster-masked figure and onlookers peer in from the background — all underscored by the whispered speech bubble, "Pssst… Great going, Malibu… you're putting on a GREAT ACT!" The story is cheekily titled "Halloween-- It's a Scream!", and the whole cover radiates that breezy, lighthearted spirit that made Scooter a fun corner of DC's Silver Age lineup.
