American Update: The Atlas Explosion! Hedy Devine – Classic Golden Age Funny Girl Antics
*Teen Hunour/Funny Girls: Of the myriad comics in our Atlas Explosion event, only one of them, sadly, falls into the popular ‘Funny Girl’ sub-genre – Hedy De Vine #32, from 1949, featuring, in addition to the wacky antics of Hollywood actress Hedy and her gal-pals Tessie the Typist and (apparently-unemployed) Lana, an editorial from the Timely/Atlas management decrying the then-prominent movement by Dr. Frederic Wertham and his chums, who blamed comic books for juvenile delinquency and eventually led to the formation of the censorious Comics Code Authority. So you get girls, giggles and political commentary in this issue – there’s a bargain for you! This is a FA/GD copy, generally sound but with several small cover tears and a small hole in the cover, around Hedy’s knee. For sale at £22.
