Katy Keene Comics

Bill Woggon’s Katy Keene is a lighthearted fashion-and-fun series that ran for 36 issues, starting in 1950 and continuing into the present day. Published under the H. John Edwards imprint, the strip follows the glamorous model and actress Katy as she navigates the world of high style, often inviting readers to submit their own dress and costume designs for the characters. Woggon’s cheerful, pin-up-inspired art and the series’ interactive “design-a-dress” feature made it a beloved staple of mid-century comics. Its enduring charm lies in its celebration of creativity and aspirational glamour, with Katy remaining a unique icon of the genre.
