Katy Keene Annual
Archie · 1954–1959 · 6 issues
About the series
From 1954 to 1959, Archie Comics presented six oversized annuals starring their fashion-obsessed starlet Katy Keene, a character whose glamorous world was shaped primarily by writer-artist Bill Woggon. Alongside her steady beau K.O. Kelly, her little sister Sis, and a cast including the scheming Gloria Grandbilt and the wealthy Randy Van Ronson, Katy navigated the worlds of modeling and theater with style. These issues were notable for their interactive element—readers submitted their own costume designs, which Woggon and artist Nancy Dee Coner often incorporated into the stories. A charming slice of 1950s pop culture, the Katy Keene Annual stands as a unique blend of fashion, romance, and fan participation in the Archie universe.
