American Update: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun – My Friend Irma – and Her Friends
*Teen Humour/Funny Girls: From the Timely/Atlas/Marvel stable of funny girls, My Friend Irma, the comics adaptation of the popular B-movie and radio series from the 1940s starring Marie Windsor as possibly the dumbest ‘dumb blonde’ ever. What brought the Irma comic out of the crowd of similar titles, though, was the artwork by Dan DeCarlo, delightful and engaging, establishing his reputation as the definitive ‘funny girl’ artist. Half a dozen new issues of Irma, all complete, but in very affordable low to mid grades, are new to our stock, as well as a handful of fellow-travellers: Cindy Smith, Nellie the Nurse, and a relative latecomer at the beginnings of the Marvel Universe, Kathy the Teen-Age Tornado!
