Nellie This is also another book with what I believe is a Dan DeCarlo cover. Nellie has his trademark hips and lips from that era. I suspect DeCarlo may have done every Nellie cover from issue #19 thru #27. Not positive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things have definitely changed in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree. #22 through 27 in particular are almost identical in style to his Millie books from that time period. The goofy faced patient on #18 also was characteristic of DeCarlo. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that anyone ever confirmed any of this with him while he was still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the one I posted , I have another issue plus one I just picked up last week (from a boardie I believe) on eBay on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that if I gradually accumulate enough of them, it might inspire me to do the whole run. Some issues are very tough, though, I think. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) I was wondering what's the equivalent of a soda shoppe for kids these days. They were ubiquitous in teen humor comics back in the day. They were still around when I was a kid, but seem to have disappeared. Most ice cream places don't really encourage sitting around anymore. When I was a teen in the 70s, we'd hang out at a Friendly's, drinking endless cups of coffee for 40 cents, and sometimes buying a dish of ice cream or a sundae, which was close to a being a soda shoppe, but my kids (17 and 21) grew up either getting stuff to go (Starbucks) or going to someplace like California Pizza Kitchen, ordering cheap specials and loitering in the booth for an hour or so, drinking free soda refills. It doesn't seem to have the appeal of the soda fountain. Plus the one that was a block from me when I was around 10 also sold comic books, making the trip doubly worthwhile.
