DC Special #2

DC Special #2 (On Sale: November 7, 1968) has nice "Top Teen Favorites in a Hippy Happy Holiday Happening" cover by Bob Oksner.

We begin with Binky in (Puff! I ran all the way!) and (Here's your peach melba!) both drawn by Bob Oksner. Next is Buzzy in (How'd you like some ice cream, Suzie?), most likely also drawn by Bob Oksner and Date With Judy in (Are you seeing Chuck again tonight?) drawn by Graham Place. That is followed by Melvin in (How come you didn't get any research books...) drawn by Mad-man Mort Drucker and Everything Happens to Harvey in (Steppin' out tonight, hey, Harvey?) drawn by Irwin Hasen. Next is Date with Judy in (So long, Candy!) drawn by Graham Place and Buzzy in (Hey, kids! Have you seen the display...), once again most likely drawn by Bob Oksner.

We end with another Date with Judy strip, (Hey, Candy! What's this I hear about...) drawn by Graham Place and Binky in (But, soft! What light through yonder window...) drawn by Bob Oksner. These are all very old reprints, the writers are unknown and all of the Date With Judy stories in this issue were retitled "Candy" (as DC no longer had the Judy rights).
