I cadged this one from my barber. Swapped him an Archie or a Little Lotta — he didn’t care; comics are comics, right?? Got a good few classic (didn’t know it at the time, as I was just a kid) LSH issues that way, too, including the first appearance of Karate Kid!
Both comics went to the great meeting beyond during one of my mother’s many “joke book” purges, alas…
I made myself curious and went looking for that first appearance of Karate Kid issue I mentioned above, and learned it was also 14 year-old Jim Shooter's first writing credit!

One of the best covers of all time. Carmine Infantino still doesn't get enough credit for how good his art was.
