AL FELDSTEIN’S RACY CULT classic JUNIOR and SUNNY COLLECTED

Media release — IDW publishing is pleased to announce the release of The complete Junior and Sunny, which presents the full run of these historic comics created, written, and illustrated by the legendary E.C. Comics artist/writer/editor Al Feldstein.
Imagine a young Betty page type meeting up with some late-1940s, typical-teenage types (a la Archie), and you will get an idea of what is to be found in The complete Junior and Sunny. along with an thorough introduction by grant Geissman, the book also presents the issue of meet Corliss Archer that Feldstein also produced for the notorious Victor Fox, of Fox feature Publications.

Done between 1947 and 1948 in the period ideal before he moved to E.C. Comics, Feldstein’s bold artwork and salacious figures are on full display, supplying a wonderfully guilty pleasure. long considered to be prime examples of late 1940s “headlight” and “Good Girl” art comics, issues of Junior and Sunny have been quite tough to find and very expensive to obtain. until now!

“Although the stories are generally charming, ‘typical teenage’ period pieces, Feldstein’s artwork for them typically pushes the envelope for the time,” says Geissman. “With titillating covers and often-suggestive images in the stories themselves, it’s probably a good thing that Dr. Fredric Wertham never found out about Junior and Sunny!” Seduction of the innocent, indeed!

Look for the complete collection this December!
