Candy (Comic Magazines)

    (Comic Magazines, 1947-1956)
©1953 Comic Magazines

In the world of 1950s teen girls’ comics, Candy defied the norm. Whereas most of the characters starring in these comics (such as Marvel’s Patsy Walker) were gentle and generous, Candy O’Connor was brash, sassy, and used to getting her way. Similarly, her boyfriend, Ted Dawson had more in common with Archie than with the Best Man On Campus-types so prized in teen romance comics. Only her rival, Cornelia Clyde played true to type—a spoiled rich girl who tried to spoil Candy’s life through guile and the expenditure of her oversized allowance.
