Josie #39

In "The Turncoat," Josie and the Pussycats find themselves in a festive mix-up after visiting Clyde Didit’s icy retreat, leading them to a department store to return their Christmas gifts. Melody’s attempt to exchange a bikini—claiming it covers too much—sparks an unexpectedly curious reaction from the store’s customers, leaving the girls puzzled and the situation anything but simple. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—pencils and inks by DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, lettered by Bill Yoshida—this 1969 issue captures the charm and humor of the era, with a cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick.
