Indeed. I'd never noticed Rusty books before. I guess instead of the usual teen/career girl GGA humor character, she was a Blondie type, kids and all.

 

Timely/Marvel must have accounted for nearly half the teen/GGA humor books on the stands in the late 40s.

Wow, I've been looking for that one for ages. Peter Dribben cover. Most of you might not be familiar with him. Late 1940's/early 1950's pin-up artist. He did a lot of beautiful, Beauty Parade, Titter, Wink and other pin up magazine covers. This is the only comic book cover I know of by him. Here are some of his pin up covers:

Why do they call the magazine "Titter" -- because it's full of funny jokes, right?

 

It was slang for "titilate" Actually very harmless in it's day.

 

There were probably a few giggles and a wink when some joker first whispered he was flirting with the title.

One weird book plucked from a box at WonderCon this weekend. (Thanks Richard). Been looking for this ever since I saw one go crazy on the bay a year or so ago. Hard to find because it "books" for nothing.

 

Decapitated and mounted movie star heads on the cover. One is Ricky Nelson I believe. Was stoked to find a copy.

Great! Never seen that one before. The head on the far right (right side of cover) certainly seems like Ricky Nelson. Middle one possibly Bobby Darin? hm
