Debbi's Dates #11 (On Sale: October 22, 1970), has a cover by Stan Goldberg  and Henri Scarpelli. This is the final issue of Debbi's Dates.

Bill Williams was an artist who started out on the Lana book and strip for Atlas (Marvel) in 1949 and then spent the 1950s with Dell Publishing where he produced such humorous series as Henry Aldrich and Homer Brown. In the 1960s, he has also drawn comics with Millie, The Chipmunks and Tweety and Silvester. He drew Millie the Model during 1967 and also drew for Marvel in the late 1980s doing Dennis the Menace. Also did the long-running Pee Wee Harris strip in Boy's Life. His only work for DC was in this and the previous issue of Debbi's Dates.

Debbi's Dates #10

Debbi's Dates #10  (On Sale: August 18, 1970) has a standard cover by Henry Scarpelli.

We begin with "Oh, Lulu," a six-page story featuring Benedict.  That is followed by "The Big Plan for Making Bread." this eight-pager features Buddy and is drawn by Alfred Williams and Frank McLaughlin. The book ends with the five-pager "The Secret Weapon."

I don't know a lot about Alfred Williams, whose first work for DC is in this book. He worked on a character called Lana for Marvel (Timely) in 1945-51 and then again in 1967 on Millie the Model. He usually worked as a full artist, but occasionally would only do pencils. He also wrote one Chilli story for Millie the Model. His total career at DC would consist of this and the next issue of Debbi's Dates.
