*Teen Humour/Funny Girls: This update, a merry myriad of Timely/Atlas’ answer to Archie Comics, Patsy Walker. Created by Stan Lee and Ruth Atkinson for Miss America Magazine #2, the red-headed teen everygal proved so popular that by 1945 she had her own title, as well as more than a dozen spin-offs over her 21-year career. Her earlier issues, mainly illustrated by animator Pauline Loth, featured teen-comedy shticks of romantic misunderstandings, which lasted through the 1950’s under illustrators such as Dave Berg, Morris Weiss and Al Jaffee among others. By the 1960’s, Al Hartley had taken over as the main artist, and the title edged over from comedy into out & out romance, with declamatory and lachrymose covers.  This restock is of more than thirty issues, ranging from 1946’s #7 to 1965’s #124, Patsy’s final issue, including team-ups with Millie the Model and Linda Carter, Student Nurse! As a bonus, we have a lovely condition copy of the 1966 one-shot, Patsy Walker’s Fashion Parade, a Queen-Sized special with no comics stories, but simply page after page of pin-ups, hairdo suggestions, and “fashions from fans” that were obviously prepared well before Patsy’s cancellation. This ingenious way of using up inventory was Patsy’s farewell to the Marvel Universe for a few years – until she snuck in through the back door by becoming a supporting character for the Beast, parlaying that into her current gig as a fully-fledged super-heroine, the Hellcat!
