This never-reprinted, short-lived Silver Age series from a short-lived publisher...
...could well be considered the "anti-Archie" teen humor book!
Written and illustrated by Bob Powell, this story from MF Enterprise's Henry Brewster #3 (1967) takes the classic cliche that girls love cats, but boys can't handle felines, to an extreme!
You'll note the art deliberately doesn't resemble the work of Dan DeCarlo, whose renderings of the Archie characters had become the "house style" for that publisher and the de facto look of almost all teen humor books by this point in time!
Writer/artist Bob Powell was one of the most prolific writer/artists in the business from the 1940s through the 1960s.
And, he was a major contributor to the romance genre, as we've shown over the years!
MF Enterprises lasted only a year and a half, and Henry Brewster was its' longest-running book, lasting seven issues.
The parent company, CountryWide did a diverse assortment of magazines dedicated to many other topics including music, pop culture, wrestling, astrology, and UFOs.
As the color comics line ended, the publisher launched a b/w horror comics magazine imprint, Eerie Publications, which published reprints, and newly-re-illustrated versions of old comics tales from 1967 through 1981!
We've run several of them HERE, HERE, and HERE during our Halloween marathons!
