Swing with Scooter #29

Henry Scarpelli's cover for this 1970 DC teen comedy says it all with a single glance: a cheerful blonde in a pink minidress and go-go boots cheerfully announces to a friend that Scooter went inside to borrow movie money from her father — while a very rattled Scooter comes flying back out the door headfirst. It's a perfectly timed visual punchline that captures everything fun about the series' breezy, mod sensibility. Paired with the interior story "Here Come de Judge!", Swing with Scooter #29 delivers the kind of lighthearted suburban humor that made DC's teen titles a staple of early 1970s spinner racks.
