143ksk Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 (edited) I was PMing with adamstrange and he suggested this thread. With the approach of the completion of my Archie collection, I've started acquiring non-Archie teen humor titles over the last few years. I will start us off with some first issues (only 2 of which are actually #1s). Please add more! This book is the continuation of All Winners Edited April 23, 2005 by 143ksk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

143ksk Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 (edited) This title featured some of Dan DeCarlo's best work, but was virtually unreadable Edited April 23, 2005 by 143ksk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

143ksk Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 (edited) And last, my favorite Timely teen title Edited April 23, 2005 by 143ksk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseofComics.Com Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 This title featured some of Dan DeCarlo's best work, but was virtually unreadable Speaking of unreadable, I took a look at a Tillie the Toiler (FC 176) on Friday and found it tough going. Am I off base or are they lame? Is Tessie the Typist better? I always think of those two in the same group. Best, Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
143ksk Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 I've never read Tillie, but Tessie (as well as most of the other Timely titles) is pretty good. The real problem with My Friend Irma (and later My Girl Pearl) is that the only joke is that Irma is amazingly stupid. And it's repeated over and over and over and...you get the idea. The other Timely titles are much more readable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st-and-keys Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 And last, my favorite Timely teen title That's a toughie, I've been trying to get one for a while now. Here's a few more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And we are absolutely nuts about Katy Keene over here.) Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
