#57 first 15 cent issue. Winter of 1962, Great Teddy Tizzy. Owen Fitzgerald art. 

 

That's interesting.  I never noticed that 57, 58, and 59 were 15cent issues.  I guess it lowered sales, so they went to 12cents with issue 60.

I’m missing 56

I can imagine the sticker shock  😳 of a 50% increase when comics were ten cents for decades.
