Swing with Scooter #27

DC's teen humor series delivers a perfectly timed gag on the cover of this May 1970 issue, with Scooter grinning in the eye doctor's chair as a baffled optometrist leans into the standard letter chart demanding, "I don't understand! Where does it say 'WOW'?" — all while an attractive blonde in a stylish red jacket strolls past in the background, making the joke land without a word of explanation needed. Henry Scarpelli's clean, expressive linework gives the scene great comedic timing, and the familiar gang peeks down from the masthead at top. Inside, Win Mortimer and Scarpelli bring the same breezy energy to "Double Trouble!" — a title that promises the kind of lighthearted mischief that made Swing with Scooter a fun corner of DC's Silver Age lineup.
