Cover by Charles Nicholas and Jon D'Agostino. Stories and art by George Wildman and Jon D'Agostino. This spinoff of the popular TV/radio show provides a bridge between I Love Lucy-style domestic comedy and Archie-style teen comedy, two staples of 1950s entertainment. Wannabe heroes Harvey and Freddie set a fire to warn approaching trains that a bridge is out, giving new meaning to the phrase "backfire." Margie goes to great lengths to win a TV cooking contest, including dressing up her dad as "Verna." A ski race goes awry. Plus vintage ads for a virtual "Trip to Disneyland" (with 78RPM records!) and a "Jet Rocket Space Ship." Heroes for Hire; Plane Talk; Femme Fatale; Green for a Day; Ski-Happy; Come Crawling. Final issue under this title; series continues as Freddy (1958 Charlton) #12. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
