Yesterday, we presented the first version of this tale with a Christmas Eve ending...
...but when it was reprinted several years later, it was spotlighted not only with a cover by Al Avison...
...but a new contents page illustration by Doug (Jonny Quest) Wildey!
Now, note the alterations to both story and art...courtesy of the newly-formed Comics Code Authority! (You did note their stamp on the cover?)
Start with covering Wendy's cleavage...
More cleavage-covering and a rewrite of "suggestive" word balloons in panels 5 and 7.
Caption rewrite in panel 1.
"Suggestive" word balloon in panel 4 rewritten.
No changes on this page!Guess the censor took a cigarette/coffee break!
It's fascinating to see what the Code considered licentious back when this story was reprinted in Harvey's Hi-School Romance #61 (1957)
Next week:
