In an interesting change of pace for Archie Publications, 1949 saw the debut of Katy Keene, a fashion model series written and drawn by Bill Woggon. What set Katy apart from Archie is the number of “fashion” that pages featured cutouts of various outfits that one could dress Katy in. This has resulted in a scarcity of mint issues, as many copies have had their pages removed. The stories were more straight than humorous, and over the years, Katy has developed a cult following, returning to the comic book shelves numerous times since its original 1961 cancellation.
