This was the first comic book I bought off the rack that I still have.  I believe this is a picture of me reading it while hanging out with the neighbor's dog on my mom's first car.  I have since picked up an upgrade from Dale Roberts, but post my original, well-loved copy here out of respect.  I credit this book with my later love of Marvel Team-Up.

Not sure - definitely a Chevy.  I would guess late 50s/early 60s because her next car which I drove to death in high school was an awesome '64 Ford Galaxie 500.  She eventually picked up a new 1977 Honda Civic (which I dutifully wrecked in a slow-motion roll-over crash a few months later).  My parents had a choice of repair or total (a choice you'd never be offered today given the damage) and mistakenly chose "repair."  My dad, on the other hand, had a new car every 2-3 years because he drove Oregon and Idaho for work.

The linset box with Johnny doesn’t help any.

Hard for me to believe that was Kirby’s idea.
