Calling All Girls

A wholesome, long-running digest from Parents' Magazine Press, Calling All Girls (1955–1966) offered young readers a mix of light adventure, fashion, and advice, running for 102 issues. Most frequently illustrated by the reliable Jack Sparling, the series stood out as a mainstream, mass-market comic aimed squarely at a pre-teen female audience during the Silver Age, providing an alternative to the superhero-heavy newsstands of the era.
